MSO – Metropolis: Composing Australia One

Showcasing today’s Australian composers who make music that embraces city rhythms and the natural world.

Metropolis kicks off with Holly Harrison’s urban fanfare Hi-Viz in which the neon machine activity of roadworks is re-imagined through electronic dance music, bootscooting and disco!

Look up from the city lights and both Ella Macen’s lyrical The Space Between Stars and Fiona Hill’s yogic breath of a piece Śūnyatā take our attention to the vast expanses of time and space of the natural world.

The MSO is proud to commission Jessica Wells to compose a Guzheng concerto for Mindy Meng Wang, one of the world’s finest players of this Chinese zither.
