The University of Melbourne Symphony Orchestra will soon embark on its first international tour in five years. Heading to Singapore and Malaysia, the tour will share and showcase the musical talents of more than 100 student musicians from the Melbourne Conservatorium of Music and its orchestral training program.
Eötvös explains that the work was inspired by her own cultural heritage: ‘This orchestral work draws on Hungarian folk songs and explores the implications of leaving out certain parts of the harmony, melody or even rhythm and then filling that space with variation and colour.’
