Concertos on Fire

Concertos on Fire explores dynamic new directions in classical concert presentation with one of Australia’s most well known violin concertos: Maninyas by Ross Edwards alongside the premiere of a brand new concerto Tale of The Firebird by Chloé Charody for fire-taming violinist Sonja Schebeck and interdisciplinary acrobatic ensemble The Freestyle Orchestra.

Fire becomes an instrument of the ensemble, musicians fly and music springs to life from all corners of the theatre.

This presentation integrates contemporary art-music, modern circus and physical theatre, representing the inextricable connection between music and movement.
