All You Need To Know About TRILOGY: Stravinsky, Mills and Shostakovich

TRILOGY: Stravinsky, Mills and Shostakovich presents a captivating evening of orchestral mastery, bringing together three distinct voices of the 20th and 21st centuries. Stravinsky’s Petrushka bursts with colour, wit and rhythmic brilliance, vividly animating the tragic puppet through a kaleidoscope of orchestral textures. This is followed by the world premiere of Jonathan Mills’ Songs for a Stranger, an evocative song cycle inspired by his opera Eucalyptus and featuring Australian tenor Michael Petruccelli, blending contemporary sonorities with emotional immediacy.

The program concludes with Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 10, a work of profound depth and dramatic power, written in the shadow of Stalin’s regime. From haunting introspection to explosive triumph, the symphony charts a journey of resilience, defiance and redemption. Together, these three works create a compelling narrative of orchestral storytelling, fusing lyricism, colour and raw intensity in a concert that celebrates both innovation and the enduring power of the symphonic tradition.
