Pictures at an Exhibition listing on Broadway Baby

Take a whistlestop round-the-world trip with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and William Barton.

If youve never heard a didgeridoo played live before, nows your chance. Joining the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jaime Martn, William Barton takes centre stage in Baparripna No 2 by Deborah Cheetham. Performed for the first time, the work evokes the depth and richness of Indigenous Australian culture.

Before reaching Australia, theres a trip to Italy in Edward Elgars In the South. Written after an Italian holiday, Elgar said that he was inspired by the thoughts and sensations of one beautiful afternoon.

Then on to an art gallery, where Modest Mussorgsky acts as tour guide in Pictures at an Exhibition. Vividly orchestrated by Maurice Ravel, each movement evokes a portrait or landscape, from a clumsy gnome to the majestic Great Gates of Kyiv.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
