Richard Tognetti directs the Australian Chamber Orchestra in an all-Beethoven programme for the 2026 National Concert Season finale. The concert opens with the dramatic Coriolan Overture, followed by the Triple Concerto, with Tognetti on violin, ACO Principal Cello Timo-Veikko Valve on cello and Russian Australian pianist Konstantin Shamray. Beethoven’s Symphony No. 6, the “Pastoral”, closes the programme, evoking changing seasons, birdsong, a sudden storm and the calm that follows.
