Australian Chamber Orchestra to premiere ‘Entwinings’

From 1–12 September the Australian Chamber Orchestra will embark on a national tour of Australia that includes the world premiere of Ross Edwards’ Entwinings.

Entwinings was commissioned by Rob and Nancy Pallin to celebrate Nancy’s 70th birthday, and will see performances in Sydney, Wollongong, Canberra, Melbourne and Adelaide.

The orchestra will be led by the superb Norwegian violinist Henning Kraggerud. Kraggerud, who has built a reputation as the world’s leading interpreter of Grieg, will lead a programme of Grieg favourites, as well as new works by himself and Ross Edwards.
