Metropolis New Music Festival at Melbourne Recital Centre

The 2016 Metropolis New Music Festival is indeed especially Metropolitan in content and spirit. Its theme, Music of the City, will examine all facets of city life, through time, place and history.

The director of Metropolis 2016 is dynamic American conductor, pianist and composer Robert Spano, music director of Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He has programmed repertoire that pulsates not only with the urgent restlessness of actual cities, but also incorporates visions of cities that exist only in the deepest imagination.

The complete Metropolis New Music Festival runs from 9 to 21 May and includes chamber performances by Australia’s premier musicians, and talks and activities at Melbourne Recital Centre. Further details will be announced in October 2015.
