Chamber music is an intimate form of music – a conversation between friends, between the performers, and most importantly, between musicians and their audiences. We invite you to keep this dialogue alive by joining Musica Viva's International Concert Season 2010.
Enjoy some unexpected, brilliant new conversations with artists visiting Australia for the first time, and resume old conversations, briefly interrupted, with musicians making a welcome return.
From the fabulously rich history of Moscow to the cloistered halls of Cambridge, from Paris to Prague and Berlin to London, the inspiring musicians of Musica Viva's 2010 International Concert Season delve into great music of the past and the inspirational pinnacles of our own time.
The best chamber music performances keep you on the edge of your seat, all the time. Every musical line is exposed and the musicians perform at their utmost at evey instant. For as lond as the spell is held, the audience is drawn into a mystical netherworld where sound is king and artists speak through music alone.
Join us for an unforgettable journey in 2010 through magical, intimate performances of inspiration and joy.

In Conversation with Carl Vine, 2010 The Silver Rose, BEHIND BALLET (online)

"Set in Vienna in the early 1900s, Graeme Murphy’s The Silver Rose is a lavishly told story of romantic intrigue. Composer Carl Vine, a long-time collaborator of Murphy’s, revisited his personal orchestral collection to compile the score. The Silver Rose premiered in Munich in 2005 and next year Australian audiences will encounter the passionate work when The Australian Ballet performs it in four capital cities. We chatted to Carl Vine about how you go about creating a score for one of the world’s favourite choreographers."
