TEDDY TAHU RHODES
Presented by Commonwealth Bank
Australia’s favourite bass-baritone Teddy Tahu Rhodes performs nursery rhymes like There Was An Old Woman and Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star with a Roald Dahl-esque twist (Bennett’s Songs Before Sleep), and takes on the role of Beethoven’s yearning hero, singing to the distant beloved in the first ever Romantic song cycle (An die ferne Geliebte).
The Australian Chamber Orchestra performs Mahler’s Adagietto, well-known from the film Death in Venice, and a new arrangement of Mendelssohn’s breezy and vigorous String Quartet No.3.

"Listening to the ACO is like taking a swig of a vitamin drink. Suddenly: pow! The music certainly feels stronger, muscled, hot from the gym… If that’s what Australia does for you, I’m also emigrating.” The Times
