As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time

Welcome to our 2014 season ndash and what a season
it promises to be under the leadership of our newChief Conductor and Artistic Director David

As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents

music making on stage but also an engaged
audience full of people who come to see hear and
love what these talented individuals create when
they come together in the name of that thing which
we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time
can result in physical changesto a musicianrsquos body lsquoIf you usea finger hook [to support theweight of the instrument] youcan end up with a bent littlefingerrsquo Or too much pressureon the mouthpiece for instance

As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents

we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

John Williamsrsquo film scores

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

Welcome to our 2014 season ndash and what a season

As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents

we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

John Williamsrsquo film scores

open ourselves to the completeexperience of a film Williamslsquofinds just the right combinationof sounds and timbres tocommunicate with us on a verydeep emotional level Thosemoments in cinema when peoplesay ldquoI couldnrsquot help but cryrdquo areoften brought on by his music orframed by itrsquo

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

John Williamsrsquo film scores

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

Welcome to our 2014 season ndash and what a season
it promises to be under the leadership of our newChief Conductor and Artistic Director David

As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents
and commitment of our players administrators

music making on stage but also an engaged
audience full of people who come to see hear and
love what these talented individuals create when
they come together in the name of that thing which
we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

lsquoWhen my niece asks what I dofor a job I blow a raspberry andtell her ldquoSomeone pays me todo that all dayrdquorsquo French hornplayer Rachel Silver has hertongue firmly in cheek ofcourse Itrsquos a whole lot more

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time
can result in physical changesto a musicianrsquos body lsquoIf you usea finger hook [to support theweight of the instrument] youcan end up with a bent littlefingerrsquo Or too much pressureon the mouthpiece for instance

The internal structure of anorchestral horn section datesback to a time when crooks(sections of tubing) were usedto change the key in which theinstrument was playing Thehorns would play in pairs ndash first

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy

So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time

Welcome to our 2014 season ndash and what a season
it promises to be under the leadership of our newChief Conductor and Artistic Director David

As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents

music making on stage but also an engaged
audience full of people who come to see hear and
love what these talented individuals create when
they come together in the name of that thing which
we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

lsquoWhen my niece asks what I dofor a job I blow a raspberry andtell her ldquoSomeone pays me todo that all dayrdquorsquo French hornplayer Rachel Silver has hertongue firmly in cheek ofcourse Itrsquos a whole lot more

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time
can result in physical changesto a musicianrsquos body lsquoIf you usea finger hook [to support theweight of the instrument] youcan end up with a bent littlefingerrsquo Or too much pressureon the mouthpiece for instance

The internal structure of anorchestral horn section datesback to a time when crooks(sections of tubing) were usedto change the key in which theinstrument was playing Thehorns would play in pairs ndash first

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert

lsquoWhen my niece asks what I dofor a job I blow a raspberry andtell her ldquoSomeone pays me todo that all dayrdquorsquo French hornplayer Rachel Silver has hertongue firmly in cheek ofcourse Itrsquos a whole lot more

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time
can result in physical changesto a musicianrsquos body lsquoIf you usea finger hook [to support theweight of the instrument] youcan end up with a bent littlefingerrsquo Or too much pressureon the mouthpiece for instance

we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

As with many instrumentsplaying the horn for a long time

(Young Henryrsquos) clearly
enjoyed the night
Welcome to our 2014 season ndash and what a season
it promises to be under the leadership of our newChief Conductor and Artistic Director David

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a
commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous
culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

loves to hear live orchestral music
As I look ahead at this yearrsquos feast of musical
offerings I pay tribute to the extraordinary talents
and commitment of our players administrators
and artists And I also thank you our audience for
your contribution and support for your orchestra

music making on stage but also an engaged
audience full of people who come to see hear and
love what these talented individuals create when
they come together in the name of that thing which
we love above all ndash music
So welcome and enjoy this performance and
the forthcoming season with our thanks andcommitment to providing you with a year of
outstanding artistic experiences
RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

lsquoNever send a human to do amachinersquos jobrsquo So says AgentSmith in a chilling monotone inThe Matrix With this advice hewould surely find himself at oddswith conductor Frank Strobelwho joins us in September toconduct the film in concert
Itrsquos true that a live orchestraaccompanying a big screenpicture requires a machine-likesynchronicity between orchestraand film but Frank argues therersquosstill plenty of room for spontaneitylsquoSimilar to an operatic performanceI need to be able to shape andstructure a work and to uphold itstension without having the feelingof being at the moviersquos mercy
And it is especially important tome that a performance takes placewithout any additional technicalaids such as a click track in myear or a visible time code on themonitor ndash for musicalityrsquos sakersquo
So without the usualmechanical or electronicassistance how is the necessaryprecision achieved to playin time with the picturelsquoSynchronicity can be achievedwith a precise knowledge ofthe film plentiful (often morethan a thousand) synchronicitypointers in the score exacttempo specifications (preferablymetronomic indications) andthe aforementioned feeling formovement and mounting in thepicture Spontaneity does notneed to suffer because of thisrsquo

From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

The Score
Alexander NevskyThis year wersquove planned fourconcerts with an overt filmconnection but therersquos a fifthconcert with a hidden connection
Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory

RORY JEFFES
From the Managing Director Education Highlight
Whatrsquos my motivationThere are motives and then there are motives
What does it mean when a composer uses a motive
in his or her composition This was the question
explored by participants in our Sinfonietta
Composition Project at the end of 2013 Supportedby Leighton Holdings and CAL Cultural Fund
the Sinfonietta Project is now in its eighth year
and in 2013 attracted the highest ever number
of applicants Fourteen students from around
Australia aged 13 to 17 were selected to take
part in a three-day intensive workshop under the
mindful care of Richard Gill and with the expert
assistance of our Fellowship quartet Two teachers
also travelled from Tasmania with their students to
observe the workshops
The string quartets of Haydn and Shostakovichwere examined for examples of rhythmic and
harmonic motives before each participant had
the opportunity to try their own hand composing
for performance by the string quartet Working
with the Fellows said one participant lsquogave a
sense of realism to what until then had been
quite an abstracted practicersquo Therersquos clearly no
substitute for the real thing Another student
from Melbourne acknowledged the depth and
breadth of the program lsquoI learn much more about
music from the Sinfonietta project than any otherclass Irsquove been to at the specialist music school I
attendrsquo

Russian Daydreams in MarchIn 1938 Prokofiev ndash newlyreturned to Russia from a visitto Hollywood ndash was invited byfilm director Sergei Eisensteinto write the music for Alexander
Nevsky The result has becomea cult classic among film buffsand is still regarded as one of thegreatest collaborations betweencomposer and director in the
history of cinema (So closely didthey work Eisenstein would oftencut his shots to the music ratherthan vice versa)
Thanks to the machinationsof history Prokofievrsquos music hasalso survived in the concert hallNot long after the December1938 premiere the Nazi-Sovietpact of 1939 was signed and thefilm ndash which told the story of
the Russiansrsquo victory over theTeutonic knights in 1242 ndash waswithdrawn But Prokofievsalvaged the most powerfulmoments of his score to createa seven-movement cantata formezzo-soprano chorus andorchestra
Eisenstein declared Prokofievlsquoa perfect composer for thescreenrsquo saying that his music
was never merely illustrativebut embodied the emotion ofthe events on screen And evenwithout the striking imageryof the film the cantata conveysthe dramatic range of the storyfrom the tragedy of Russia underoppression to the Battle on the Iceand the triumph of victory
