Review/article: "Uplifted by melody - Canberra Symphony Orchestra gala"
Canberra Times 22 May 2009, Times2 "About Town" (p9)
Story and Photos: Lyn Mills
It was a sit back and listen kind of night. A reminder of a friend's famous line - "shut up and listen, you might learn something" - that will, I believe, be immortalised soon at that place of great orators (or so they think), the National Press Club. But I digress - as I did with the listening - from the occasion that was the Actew Grand Gala, with the Canberra Symphony Orchestra playing a premiere performance of the Meale Suite from Voss and, joy of joys, the Ninth, or more correctly Beethoven's Symphony No 9 in D minor, Op125 (the "Choral"), conducted by the charming Nicholas Milton on yet another speedy trip to Canberra and supported by the oh-so-impressive combined choirs. And therein lies the thinking of how well we support the orchestra when the combined choir is included, because not only are they superb but they have lots of family who want to see them perform. What a marketing success. I was thinking too how fabulous the percussion for the Voss was and how well we've nicked bits from the Beethoven over the years, discovering a new one in the program notes about its use by the students throughout Tiananmen Square in June 1989 as protest music.
It's a momentous moment when soaring voices become the music to take your thoughts to another dimension, another universe, where everything is all right with the world and when we can listen to what Beethoven could not hear but knew would be music for the whole world."
