A major cultural event in Australia’s most multicultural metropolis, the MSO’s annual Chinese New Year concert brings together a series of great works under the helm of Oscar- and Grammy 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 iconic Chinese music. Moving from East to West, the concert will also present Ravel’s Bolero alongside Puccini’s most famous arias featuring celebrated Chinese soprano Bing Bing Wang.
