A major cultural event in Australia’s most multicultural metropolis, the MSO’s annual Chinese New Year concert brings together great works from the Western and Eastern traditions under the helm of Grammy and Academy Award©-winning Chinese composer and conductor Tan Dun. The Melbourne premiere of Nu Shu: The Secret Songs of Women, Dun’s thirteen-movement work based around a series of 'micro films' derived from field recordings capturing the musical life and spirit of Nu Shu women in China, shares the program with key works from the Western classical repertoire including Ravel’s Bolero and arias from Puccini’s Turandot and Gianni Schicchi.
