Leonard Elschenbroich joined with the 12 ensemble for an evening dedicated to the Suite italienne, a stroll through time though with a focus on contemporary composers.

The fascinating politics of this opera are diminished by the presentation of just four scenes. The music and three strong performances almost make up as Sydney gets its first taste of this work.

The Sydney Dance Company is a great company, not just a good company.

A high-spirited divertissement from the New York City Ballet.

A serious programme for a Valentine's day concert at Sydney Opera House.

The Kronos Quartet celebrated its 40th birthday on Friday. In Berkeley's Zellerbach Hall, the ensemble explored its history with a performance of Black Angels but also offerred a few surprises.

Famous as a choreographer and as the star of the award-winning film Black Swan, as well as being the husband of Natalie Portman, there is a weight of expectation on the work of Benjamin Millepied. He will take up the position of Director of Dance at Paris Opera Ballet in 2014, but his latest project, performing at Sadler’s Wells this week, attempts to break free from classical ballet tradition.

Roulette has never looked so snazzy: the usual dishevelled hipsters were replaced by well-dressed audience members of all ages, wearing heels rather than flannel, drinking from wine glasses rather than beer bottles.

The concert was divided into two clear parts; the first included string quartet pieces by Bryce Dessner, Nico Muhly and Sufjan Stevens, and the other half consisted of Planetarium, a multi-dimensional song-cycle for string quartet, trombones, piano, celesta, synthesizer, drums, drum machine, guitar and voice.

Cool venue – cool ensemble – cool concert! The Kronos quartet are successful where so many fail in bringing the often-too-distinct worlds of pop/rock and classical together. This concert highlighted their commitment to forging their own performance aesthetic by only programming music that has been written specifically for them.
