Tchaikovsky’s Serenade

Join Artistic Director Richard Tognetti and the Australian Chamber Orchestra for a beautiful concert film full of lush serenades. This concert is bursting with emotion. Tchaikovsky's "Serenade for Strings," one of the most beloved pieces for string orchestra, reveals his innermost feelings, nostalgic admiration for Mozart, and the vibrant influence of Russian folk music. Similarly, George Walker’s "Lyric for Strings" showcases a delicate yet rich expression of emotion. Filmed at Sydney's industrial Carriageworks, the film's moody lighting and cinematography heighten the emotional impact of each piece.
