Met Concert 2 - Flare

The Metropolitan Orchestra’s second Met Concert for 2026 promises a night of dazzling colour and elemental rhythm. Led by Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams, this performance showcases the orchestra’s longtime support for talented Australian musicians when TMO present a world premiere work from composer Graeme Brown titled Endangered Species. “Endangered Species” is a sweeping new orchestral work that weaves the voices of the Bengal Tiger, Polar Bear, Eagle, and Hope for us all, portraying a shared struggle for the survival of our fragile planet. Rimsky-Korsakov’s sparkling Capriccio Espagnol is inspired by Spanish folk melodies and characterized by its brilliant use of orchestral colour to unleash Spanish fire on the audience, while Ravel’s exquisite Pavane offers a moment of poised beauty in this nostalgic and evocative piece, notable for its beautiful and moving. The concert will blaze with shimmering magic as the musicians present Stravinsky’s Firebird Suite, a masterpiece of orchestral brilliance.

Proudly supported by Inner West Council.
