About this performance
When you commission a new work, you want everyone to have the chance to hear it. That’s why the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra is touring the world premiere of Joe Chindamo’s Flute Concerto. It will feature under the hands of Australia’s charismatic flutist Eliza Shephard. Whether you appreciate an artist’s theatrical stage presence or astonishing technical skills, Shephard brings it all to the stage.
Chindamo is our 2026 Composer in Residence and we’re presenting another one of his works, Fantasie auf Nachtmusik. It reimagines Mozart’s Eine kleine Nachtmusik, so naturally we’re pairing it with a composition by Mozart himself. But not the obvious one – we’ve picked the Linz symphony for you instead. When hearing a concert of rare works, why not take a chance on a lesser-performed Mozart too?
