Where paths meet – Melbourne Chamber Orchestra
Where Paths Meet brings the festival to a joyful close, gathering together many of the themes explored throughout the weekend. Inspired by landscape, folklore, birdsong and dance, this colourful program celebrates the ways music connects us to place and to one another. From the evocative sound worlds of Sculthorpe and Macens to the exuberance of Rossini, Kats-Chernin and Veltheim, these diverse musical paths converge in a vibrant finale that is both reflective and celebratory.
