The Project
This concert brings together four extraordinary orchestral works. Ravel opens the door to the enchanted world of Mother Goose, before
Saint-Saëns lets the skeletons loose in the wickedly theatrical Danse macabre. De Falla turns up the heat with his Ritual Fire Dance, before Stravinsky unleashes The Firebird.
Ravel Ma mère l'Oye
Saint-Saëns Danse macabre
de Falla Ritual Fire Dance
Stravinsky The Firebird Suite (1919)
Why this project?
The concert forms part of my Masters degree in Conducting at the Sydney Conservatorium of Music, where I study with Benjamin Northey. It's also an opportunity to bring together outstanding young musicians for an intensive, professional-scale orchestral project built around major repertoire and a public performance.
Support
The Firebird is an independently produced orchestral project, with costs spanning musician fees, venue hire, orchestral materials, and copyright compliance.
Support through ticket sales, as well as tax-deductible donations via the Australian Cultural Fund will help make Firebird possible and ensure the musicians involved are properly supported for their work.
Any funds raised beyond the cost of this concert will go towards developing the next orchestral project in 2027.
