Melbourne-born soprano Sioghan Stagg returns for a one night stand with Kristian Bezuidenhout and the Freiburg Baroque Orchestra as part of their Australian tour.

The sopranista voice type is rare although not unknown, but there are very few who are an unmitigated joy to listen to: Samuel Mariño is one of those rarities. 

A wonderful night of late 17th-century music by the somewhat obscure German composer Dietrich Buxtehude is brought to radiant life by Erin Helyard and the Pinchgut Opera company.

Richard Tognetti brings Baroque masterworks to Melbourne along with the world premiere of Kats-Chernin's new work for strings, Singing Trees.

Impressive rapport among members of the Australian Chamber Orchestra in Mozart and Beethoven.
