STREAM NOW: ACO HOUR
with Simon Moore

This month's ACO Hour program previews Tognetti’s Beethoven, the final concert of the 2018 ACO season! Except this concert to close on a high with two towering works by Beethoven, the Fifth Symphony and Violin Concerto. It's been some 25 years since Richard Tognetti gave his first performance of the Beethoven Violin Concerto with the ACO back in 1993, and he last performed it with the Orchestra 11 years ago! Stream now to rediscover the magic of Tognetti’s Beethoven!

In Conversation
​Wednesdays at 2pm

Of all the amazing stories that have come out of World War 1, the 100th anniversary of the end of which we’ve just celebrated, perhaps none is more fascinating than that of Private Nelson Ferguson, a stretcher-bearer from Warnambool, who miraculously survived the Western Front, was blinded by mustard gas in the trenches in 1918, but in 1968 had his sight restored by Fred Hollows. Nelson earned the nickname of The Glass Soldier, in itself an interesting tale which has been told in a book of that title written by his grandson, Melbourne lawyer Don Farrands. Don will be Michael Morton-Evans’s guest on In Conversation at 2pm on Wednesday, November 21st. Join us and hear this amazing story as well as listen to the glorious Glass Soldier Suite composed by Nigel Westlake and played by the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra. This should be a truly memorable programme.
