  • Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor Is Personality
    Alexander Briger: What Makes a Conductor is Personality The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. by Jo Litson, 16 May 2019 The Australian conductor tells us about growing up in a musical clan, founding the Australian World Orchestra, and reducing the work load to better enjoy performances and time with his young family. Was there lots of music around you when you were growing up? Yeah, a lot. My mother was a ballet dancer. My uncle Alastair [Mackerras] who lived downstairs was the Headmaster of Sydney Grammar, and he would drive me to school. He was a classical music fanatic. He owned thousands and thousands of CDs, from A to Z, and he was so methodical about it. So, I learnt a hell of a lot of music. Alexander Briger. Photo © Cameron Grayson What instrument did you play? I played violin but I didn’t really take it all that seriously, I have to say. I was much more into aeroplanes, that sort of thing. My uncle was Charles Mackerras, although I didn’t really know him well, he didn’t live here. He would come home to conduct the Sydney Symphony or the opera occasionally. I remember when I was 12, I was taken to a concert that he gave, Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Sydney Symphony, and that was the first concert that I was allowed to go to. I remember just being completely blown away by it and that’s when I started to take music very seriously and to think about conducting.

  • Mozart and Brahms I Contents Welcome 1
    Music to soothe your soul Mozartand Brahms 28 + 29 MAY 2021 CONCERT HALL, QPAC PROGRAM | MOZART AND BRAHMS I CONTENTS WELCOME 1 IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE ORCHESTRA 2 FOR YOUNGER EARS 4 DEFINTION OF TERMS 8 LISTENING GUIDE 10 ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES 14 SUPPORTING YOUR ORCHESTRA 24 MUSICIANS AND MANAGEMENT 26 II PROGRAM | MOZART AND BRAHMS WELCOME Today we are very privileged to welcome back to the QPAC stage one of the world's greatest oboists - Diana Doherty. The oboe is a notoriously tricky instrument with several parameters that make it hard to master, none more so than the temperamental double reed at the top. These are hand- made by the oboist from a weed similar to bamboo (Arundo Donax for those playing at home). There are but a handful of oboists in the world who are invited to perform as soloists outside of their country, and Diana is one of them. One of my first trips to see the Sydney Symphony Orchestra as a teenager was to witness Diana perform the Richard Strauss Oboe Concerto. I marvelled at her gloriously resonant oboe sound, especially as she was 37 weeks pregnant! Nearly a decade later I watched Diana premiere Ross Edwards' Oboe Concerto, dressed (as instructed by the composer) as a wild bird, whilst undertaking dance choreography. I can’t think of any other oboist in the world who can pull off these jaw-dropping feats. Today, Diana performs the most famous work from the oboe repertoire - Mozart's Oboe Concerto in C. Diana is one of those oboists who makes the instrument sound like a human voice, and I have no doubt that you will enjoy her breathtaking rendition of this charming yet virtuosic concerto.

  • Tasmania Discovery Orchestra 2011 Concert 1
    Tasmania Discovery Orchestra 2011 The Discovery Series, Season II Concert 1: Discover the Orchestra Alex Briger – Conductor Mozart Overture Die Zauberflöte , K. 620 Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major, Op. 92 Coffee and Cake in the foyer with musicians and conductor Sunday 17 h April 2011 | 2:30pm Stanley Burbury Theatre Sandy Bay, Hobart The Tasmania Discovery Orchestra The TDO is a refreshingly new, bold idea in Australian orchestral music making, designed to offer musicians with advanced orchestral instrument skills the opportunity to come together and make great music in Hobart, Tasmania. The TDO was created in 2010, and was an immediate success, drawing musicians from around Australia to Hobart for the inaugural performance. The response for more performance opportunities for orchestral players is evident by the large number of TDO applicants for both the 2010 and 2011 seasons. This demand led to the creation of another new initiative by the Conservatorium of Music, the TDO Sinfonietta , which will be continuing in 2011. This ensemble performs the chamber music repertoire of the 20th- Century and works composed for mixed orchestral ensemble. With a repertoire of known favourites, this ensemble of more intimate proportions than the TDO, is designed for orchestral musicians with advanced chamber instrumental skills. The TDO and TDO Sinfonietta are about investing in the future of Australian music. Our mission is simple: Australian orchestral musicians, not employed in full-time positions with orchestras, need more opportunities to perform. We want our community and audience to get involved! Have you ever wondered how an orchestra works? Or, perhaps, you’ve always wanted to know what the Conductor does.

Dirigés par des grands noms de la scène internationale de l’opéra, pour la direction musicale comme pour la mise en scène, ils abordent tous les aspects du processus de création, dans des conditions professionnelles. L’orchestre et les étudiants des classes de chant du Conservatoire de Paris donnent l’opéra de chambre The Turn of the Screw, composé en 1954 pour la Biennale de Venise par Britten. « La cérémonie de l’innocence est noyée », chantent Miss Jessel et Peter Quint, morts dans des conditions mystérieuses, et qui hantent maintenant le manoir où Flora et Miles sont envoyés avec leur nouvelle gouvernante. Fondé sur une nouvelle fantastique d’Henry James datant de la toute fin du XIXe siècle, l’opéra de Britten est dirigé par Alexander Briger, familier de ce répertoire (il a notamment dirigé en Australie, dont il est originaire, The Rape of Lucretia et A Midsummer Night’s Dream, dans une mise en scène de Baz Luhrmann), et que les Parisiens connaissent pour l’avoir apprécié dans les opéras de John Adams, Nixon in China et I Was Looking at the Ceiling and Then I Saw the Sky au Théâtre du Châtelet.

Passacaglia: Andante allegro [7.48] Total Timings [69.33] Jamie Walton cello Philharmonia Orchestra Alexander Briger conductor www.signumrecords.com Shostakovich’s Second Cello Concerto and the apparent condescension from an older Britten’s Cello Symphony make the most likely of generation of British composers, excoriated them bedfellows. These works were written by composers as, ‘the “eminent English Renaissance” composers who were pretty much direct contemporaries, who, sniggering in the stalls…There is more in a single in their own ways, and within utterly different page of his Macbeth than in the whole of their political climates, composed in an approachable “elegant” output.’ Around this time, Shostakovich’s manner which could speak not only to their own occasional influence can be spotted in a number of homeland, but to the world at large. Both were Britten’s works, including the Sinfonia da Requiem catapulted into the international limelight as and Britten continued to be fascinated by young men (age 27 in Shostakovich’s case, 31 in Shostakovich’s major works over the years, issuing a Britten’s) by virtue of the phenomenal success of heartfelt and warm tribute on the occasion of the full scale, serious and surprisingly mature operas latter’s 60th birthday.
