Conductor, instrumentalist and one of Australia’s leading composers, Brett Dean directs major recent works in this final Metropolis concert for 2008.
Inspired by what he called “those glittering, jumbled, exciting walkways which are so much a way of life in Melbourne,” Keith Humble’s Arcade series culminated in this work for large orchestra, premiered in 1969.
The title of Thomas Ades’ Tevot has multiple meanings: it is Hebrew for “ark” and “vessel,” with all the Biblical implications those words suggest. After the first performance, given by the Berlin Philharmonic and Sir Simon Rattle in early 2007, Tom Service, in The Guardian newspaper, said: “Of any new piece I’ve heard at its premiere, this is one of the most immediately, richly powerful.”
