About this performance
Program
Anne Cawrse Falling Upward
Strauss Oboe Concerto
R. Schumann Symphony No.3 Rhenish
About this performance
Anne Cawrse's work for string orchestra explores the idea that struggle is necessary for growth, portraying "falling upward" as a hard-won climb that must embrace hardship before earning eventual flight.
Then Principal Oboe Johannes Grosso takes centre stage. Strauss puts the oboe on show straight away, like an aria from one of his famed operas, singing a soaring line. Composed in 1945, the Oboe Concerto intertwines agile solo sections and lush orchestral textures, expressing quiet reflection and the sunlit dawning of a new day at the end of World War II.
Schumann's Third Symphony was inspired by the flowing Rhine river and the great cathedral of Cologne, moving between lyrical melodies and majestic fanfares fitting for a ceremonious occasion.
Featuring
Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
