About this performance
Dive into the music of two seminal composers. Guided by conductor, educator and former ABC Classic announcer Graham Abbott, students will explore two strikingly different works: Stravinsky's The Firebird and Australian composer Matthew Hindson’s Speed. Both works are large scale, exciting and unashamedly distinct. Graham gives insight to students, to provide a pathway to understanding these ground-breaking works.
