Tim Anderson (New College, 2010), now based in Berlin, is to conduct the distinguished Austrian Chamber Orchestra on their tour of Hong Kong, Korea, and Japan in March 2025. The three programs - 'AMOPERA', 'tritsch tratsch (J. Strauss 200)', and 'Boulez and Berio' - will be heard at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre, the Daegu Opera House, and the Tokyo Bunka Kaikan Concert Hall, finishing with a performance of 'AMOPERA' in May at the Weiner Konzerthaus. The group, which specializes in contemporary classical music, was founded by composer and conductor Beat Furrer in 1985, and is cited as Austria's leading contemporary music ensemble.
In concert: how shared wonder opens our minds
How can shared experiences of music, art and natural beauty expand our imagination and help us better understand each other? Professor Naomi Waltham-Smith explores how moments of shared aesthetic attention can amplify our sense of curiosity and wonder, bringing our imaginative lives into our relationships with others.
