The Australian National Academy of Music's orchestra tackles Schubert's Symphony No. 9, known as The Great, under the baton of conductor Giordano Bellincampi at St Kilda Town Hall. The symphony is one of the towering works of the early Romantic orchestral repertoire, and its performance by ANAM's talented young musicians gives Melbourne audiences a chance to hear the next generation of Australian classical players tackle a genuine landmark score. ANAM concerts are known for pairing rising talent with experienced guest conductors, and this performance continues that tradition, offering a program built for both dedicated classical music followers and newcomers wanting an accessible entry point into orchestral repertoire. The concert runs for around two hours including a short interval. Ticket prices range from concession and under-30 rates through to standard adult pricing, making the concert relatively accessible for a full orchestral performance. St Kilda Town Hall's Carlisle Street location puts the concert within easy reach of the suburb's cafés and restaurants for a pre-show meal.
