Where better than the USA to travel for a Centenary Gala event which is a "must see" concert in the 2013 calendar! Each of these events have sold out and this year will be no exception when the Canberra Symphony Orchestra presents Bernstein on Broadway. A celebrated and sometimes controversial figure, Leonard Bernstein was one of the 20th century's greatest American composer/conductor. This ACTEW Grand Gala, led by Chief Conductor and Artistic Director, Nicholas Milton features the sublime voice of one of Australia's most versatile and brilliant sopranos, former Canberran Lorina Gore, in some wonderful selections.

Join Steven Isserlis and Richard Tognetti as they and the Australian Chamber Orchestra bring to you Brahms Four. The Fourth is Brahms' final and greatest symphony. Here, Brahms takes flight, as he melds the soaring sounds of Romanticism to classical structure in a constantly evolving drama. Brahms premiered the symphony with a small orchestra of 48 musicians, which he declined to augment. We follow his lead and perform with wind instruments from Brahms' time.
