In the final program of the year, the Suite Images concert showcases both of the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music’s wind ensembles: the Concert Band and Wind Symphony.
The performance highlights Gustav Holst’s iconic First Suite in E-flat and Steven Bryant’s re-imagination of the same work, creatively titled Suite Dreams.
Following this suite will be Adam Schoenberg’s new Picture Studies which recreates the concept of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, illuminating a musical journey of four art pieces from the world-class Nelson-Atkins Art Museum.
