(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

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

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

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

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

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

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

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

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

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

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

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

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

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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

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

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

of SSO musicians DanHampton (Young Henryrsquos)

Justin Di Lollo (Vanguard

(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

Robertson From Straussrsquos epic opera Elektra

to the film music of John Williams from the

enduring mastery of Beethoven and Brahms to a

commissioned work celebrating our Indigenous

culture Jandamarra by Paul Stanhope we aim to

offer something that will inspire everyone who

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

An inspiring performance requires not just great

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
