  • Artist Biographies
    ARTIST BIOGRAPHIES Richard Gill AO | Artistic Director & Conductor in March 2019 Australian conductor and educator, Richard Gill, one of Australia's best-known and best-loved musical figures, is a significant and vital key member of ARCO. His career has taken him from teaching music in Sydney's western suburbs to Music Director of the Victorian Opera, Artistic Director of the Sydney Symphony Education Program, and along the way an involvement with almost every major opera company and orchestra in Australia. He is one of this country's pre-eminent conductors and a passionate advocate of music education. He specialises in opera, music theatre and vocal and choral training and his work in developing young musicians and creating opportunities for them is recognised world-wide. His appearances on the ABC’s “Spicks and Specks” and “Q&A” have made him a household name within and beyond Australia’s musical world. What truly distinguishes Richard is his passion and enthusiasm for spreading not just the joy of music, but its myriad benefits. He is Australia’s greatest musical educator, and many say one of the best in the world. His life's work - alongside his other roles - has been advocating music in our education system, and furthering the development of those who have gone on to choose music as a vocation. He brings music to life, and his knowledge and deep enjoyment of his subject is as inspiring and enlightening to a class of primary school students as it is to the cast of a major opera. The majority of Australia’s young contemporary professional musicians count Richard as a powerful influence on their musical development.

  • Spirit of the Plains
    Spirit of the Plains Bradley Kunda, GUITAR Laura van Rijn, FLUTE Spirit of the Plains (Bradley Kunda, 2015) I. Pan II. The West Wind III. Fantasy Spirit of the Plains is inspired by the paintings of Sydney Long (1871-1955). Long remains a unique voice in Australian art, particularly for his rendering of the Australian landscape in the European Art Nouveau style; he extends the branches of gum trees into flowing lines with sinuous curves, and he decorates the bush with mythical figures – fauns, nymphs and satyrs. Brolgas and magpies are enchanted by the flute, played by Pan, the Greek god of nature, shepherds, flocks, and pastoral music (Pan, 1989), or by a similarly evocative feminine spirit (The Spirit of the Plains, 1897/1914; The West Wind, 1909). The iconographic Art Nouveau image of spirited dancing girls with flowing dresses is a feature of Long’s work Fantasy (c. 1914), where the figures are engulfed by Long’s dreamy and imaginative depiction of trees and moonlight. The musical language of Spirit of the Plains for flute and guitar draws particularly on the French music of Long’s day, especially that of Maurice Ravel, whose meandering lines and lush textures are a fitting allusion to the Art Nouveau style. In the spirit of Long’s appropriation, however, this characteristic style is re-imagined through an Australian lens; the overtone-rich and colourful sound of the Australian classical guitar evokes its own harmonic and textural sound world, which pairs beautifully with Pan’s own instrument – the flute – in an Australian re-imagining of the musical and visual world of the fin de siecle.

  • PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Wolfgang Mozart – Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Born January 27, 1756, Salzburg, Austria. Died December 5, 1791, Vienna, Austria. Piano Concerto No. 20 in D Minor, K. 464 Mozart entered this concerto in his catalog on February 10, 1785, and performed the solo in the premiere the next day in Vienna. The orchestra consists of one flute, two oboes, two bassoons, two horns, two trumpets, timpani, and strings. At these concerts, Shai Wosner plays Beethoven’s cadenza in the first movement and his own cadenza in the finale. Performance time is approximately thirty-four minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra’s first subscription concert performances of Mozart’s Piano Concerto no. 20 were given at Orchestra Hall on January 14 and 15, 1916, with Ossip Gabrilowitsch as soloist and Frederick Stock conducting. Our most recent subscription concert performances were given on March 15, 16, and 17, 2007, with Mitsuko Uchida conducting from the keyboard. The Orchestra first performed this concerto at the Ravinia Festival on July 6, 1961, with John Browning as soloist and Josef Krips conducting, and most recently on July 8, 2007, with Jonathan Biss as soloist and James Conlon conducting. This is the Mozart piano concerto that Beethoven admired above all others. It’s the only one he played in public (and the only one for which he wrote cadenzas). Throughout the nineteenth century, it was the sole concerto by Mozart that was regularly performed—its demonic power and dark beauty spoke to musicians who had been raised on Beethoven, Chopin, and Liszt.
