WITH a program that embraces much-loved works in the string repertoire, ACO2 returns to Queensland at the Redlands Performing Arts Centre with Around the World.
Taking the audience on a journey through America, Russia and Germany, and culminating in a voyage through Salzburg, Barcelona, Paris and Maputo with Berger's Metropoles Suite for Violin and Strings, Around the World will be led by acclaimed violinist and guest director, Benjamin Schmid.
Also featured on the program are works by Bach, Tchaikovsky and Barber.
Mr Schmid said Bach's E Major Concerto was a "classy classic".
"Its second movement is eternal in its incredible beauty and quiet longing," he said.
"Barber's Adagio for Strings is as popular as it is beautiful and it takes us to the music of the United States.
"The build-up in energy in Tchaikovsky's Souvenir de Florence is compelling, merciless, and beautiful, and to experience that with an elite ensemble like ACO2 will be an essential sensation."
Be transported 'around the world' in this stunning concert at Redland Performing Arts Centre on Wednesday, May 27 at 7pm. Tickets are $30 to $35.
