The Great

Event Date: 20/08/2016, 08:00 pm

Glenn Christensen returns for the fourth MET Concert for 2016.
Glenn Christensen is back to perform as soloist for Beethoven's iconic Violin Concerto in our fourth MET Concert for this year on August 20th. Now a full-time member with the Australian Chamber Orchestra, Glenn joins Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams in this Concert titled "The Great" which also features Franz Schubert's majestic Symphony number 9.

Glenn is a member of the Lyrebird Trio who last performed with The Metropolitan Orchestra in 2014. In this upcoming performance, Glenn will expose his profound passion and flair as soloist for Beethoven's most famous and unsurpassed Violin Concerto. "We are so honoured to have this inspirational young Australian violinist back with us as soloist for this concert. Glenn is a good friend and absolute joy to work with. His obvious passion, joyful style and technical elegance perfectly compliment our orchestra," said Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace.

The second half of this performance features Franz Schubert's majestically soaring Symphony No 9, also known as The Great which was the final symphony completed by Schubert. The symphony begins with a noble, reflective and grandiose theme depicting a sense of space which has helped give the symphony its nickname the "Great C Major". With a Finale boasting an urgent, relentless momentum along with a choral movement reflective of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, this high-spirited performance will enthral listeners, drawing them along from the first noble theme through to the last joyous note.

His compositions for the concert platform, stage & screen number more than 1500!

BIJOU

Event Date: 17/08/2016, 08:00 pm

BIJOU: A Cabaret of Secrets and Seduction starring Chrissie Shaw
Enjoy a winter evening in a cosy Parisian bar, as exotic, aging - but still irresistible - BIJOU and her wonderful pianist spin a musical tale.
Fresh from critical and popular Melbourne and Canberra seasons and a regional NSW tour, Chrissie Shaw is Bijou!
You’re transported to a café-bar in Paris 1933. A wine, a chat; the music plays… there’s a new face in the crowd.
A ravaged figure enters, dressed in faded finery and fake pearls and the evening takes an unexpected turn.
‘Bijou’, former Queen of the Demi-Monde, unleashes a cascade of intimate, colourful memories, taking us back in time to the shadows of her youth.
Bijou survives a hard world by constantly reinventing herself: a young ingénue on the stage of the Paris Varietees;
a high-class courtesan; the hard-bitten madame of a highly imaginative house of joy;
a vulnerable child at the mercy of the adults around her… Bijou takes us on a rollicking journey and emerges triumphant!

This sumptuous, funny, poignant – often dark - cabaret peeps into the private, sensual world of a riveting Parisienne d’un certain age.
She is one of the night people, as captured in Brassai’s iconic and revealing photographs of depression-era Paris.
Featuring the music of Satie, Weill, Hollander, Bruant and more, there is sex, romance, violence, wonderful costumes, passion and poetry.
And, above all, exquisite music.

Chrissie Shaw, award-winning theatre veteran, is a Canberra-based performing artist and writer.
She has produced eight of her own shows, winning Critics’ Circle and Greenroom Awards.
“Bijou” is her latest work, which had two successful seasons at The Street Theatre in Canberra, and has toured to regional NSW
and most recently a highly successful season in Melbourne’s La Mama Courthouse Theatre.

In Bijou, Chrissie collaborates with a whole host of local and national talent including award-winning musician and educator lan Hicks.

Seussical!

Event Date: 19/08/2016, 08:00 pm

This bright and colourful musical will be bringing the magical characters of Dr Seuss to the stage
“After all of those years being stuck on a page, did you ever imagine you’d see me on stage?” – Cat in the Hat

After its spectacular debut with Hot Shoe Shuffle (starring Daryl Somers) and the sell-out success of cheeky Keating and sassy teen hit 13, Sydney’s freshest musical theatre company Birdie Productions is set to explode with more big name stars and more young talent in SEUSSICAL!

And featuring in the leading roles will be Aria award-winning (and current Logie nominee) the iconic star of stage and screen
‘Yellow Wiggle’ SAM MORAN and captivating Matilda star BELLA THOMAS.
SEUSSICAL is a fantastical, magical, musical extravaganza! Tony winners Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty
(Lucky Stiff, My Favourite Year, Once On This Island, and Ragtime) have lovingly brought to life everyone’s favourite Dr. Seuss characters,
including Horton the Elephant, The Cat in the Hat, Gertrude McFuzz, lazy Mayzie - and a little boy with a big imagination: Jojo.
"Oh, the Thinks You Can Think" captures the show's spirit of imagination, as the colourful characters transport us from
the Jungle of Nool to the Circus McGurkus to the invisible world of the Whos.

The story of SEUSSICAL centres around Horton the Elephant, who finds himself faced with a double challenge – not only must he protect his tiny friend Jojo (and all the invisible Whos) from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird.
Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping - and even a trial - the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz never loses faith in him;
she is the only one who recognises “his kind and his powerful heart”.
The powers of friendship, loyalty, family and community are challenged – and ultimately emerge triumphant - in a wonderful musical story that will make you laugh and cry.
