The Newcastle Music Festival finale!
From tender spring songs to earth-shattering drama.
David Banney - conductor

ADAM MANNING Hot Season, Changing Skies
MAHLER Symphony No.1 (arr. for chamber orchestra by David Banney)

From one of the most original voices in the history of orchestral music, Mahler’s first symphony remains one of his most popular. Ranging from the tenderest moments to passages of earth-shattering drama, this symphony was his Mahler’s first mark on the world of music, daring to build on the tradition of his great hero, Beethoven. In the resonance of Newcastle Conservatorium's Harold Lobb Hall, Mahler’s epic vision soars in this version for chamber orchestra, in which the Camerata expands to include wind, brass and percussion. The concert begins with a colourful work for strings by Adam Manning, Lecturer at the University of Newcastle, premiered by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in 2024.
