A Sunday afternoon with ANAM

In the Utzon Room

Stefan Dohr has been principal horn for the legendary Berlin Philharmonic since 1993, and now brings his golden tones to Australia. He will perform in collaboration with students from the Australian National Academy of Music.

Mozart’s great serenades are the heart and soul of the wind repertoire, and his Serenade No. 12 in C minor is his most august of the series. It’s complemented by voices from Eastern Europe in Dvořák’s Serenade for Winds, a rush of Bohemian song and dance, and the vivacious Six Bagatelles by Hungarian composer György Ligeti. Completing the set is Carl Neilsen’s attractive Serenata in Vano, which the composer described as his ‘humorous trifle’.

The Australian National Academy of Music has for over 20 years nurtured the skills and shaped the musical imaginations of the country’s most outstanding young musicians. Many of the instrumentalists who have spent time at the academy’s home in the South Melbourne Town Hall have been the recipients of major national and international prizes and awards, and now occupy leading positions in ensembles and orchestras in Australia and abroad.

This performance is enabled through the generosity of the Yarranabbe Foundation.

Presented by Sydney Opera House, Utzon Room, 3pm this 4 June.
