Soloist Amir Farid, piano
MCO is the fresh, vibrant face of orchestral music in Australia. It is the only Melbourne professional chamber orchestra to make the Melbourne Recital Centre its home.
Amir Farid is acknowledged as one of Australia's most significant emerging pianists. Recently graduated with distinction from the Royal College of Music in London, Amir's trademark surety of touch, confidence of attack and subtlety of phrasing will have audiences immersed in his music. He will play Mozart's Fourth Piano Concerto (K.449).
Blaze also sees the first performance by MCO of a Richard Mills composition. The celebrated Australian composer has arranged his string quartet especially for MCO resulting in the first outing for his Essay for Strings.
The program also includes timeless favourites, Mozart's Divertimento for Strings and Dvorak's Serenade for Strings.
