US Tour Appeal
October in the United States brings to mind crisp autumn days, a return to the busy arts season – and in 2019, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s first tour in almost 50 years.
Our tour to the US next October will see us return to Washington, D.C., as well as Chicago (just confirmed!), with a diverse program of symphonic repertoire. From Strauss’ Die Schweigsame Frau and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 4, to Stravinsky’ The Rite of Spring and, representing Australia, Sculthorpe’s Earth Cry. Particularly poignant will be our concert in Chicago, current hometown of Sir Andrew Davis. 2019 marks Sir Andrew’s final international tour with us and final season as Chief Conductor of the MSO.
International touring is not only about performing; it’s about building ties to enable us to collaborate in future with different artistic and cultural bodies and importantly, provides unique learning opportunities. During the MSO’s US Tour, we will participate in educational and health initiatives in Washington. What we learn through these collaborations we will bring home to Melbourne, and you, to enhance our performance and education and community outreach efforts.
Please help us grow as an Orchestra to better serve our community through a donation to the MSO’s US Tour. The connections we make, the advice and insights we learn there and our reputation as a world-class orchestra will all benefit from your support.
