A three-part concert series celebrating the cultural significance of the Austrian capital, Vienna – a city associated with many great composers through the centuries, including Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven – and a deep dive into the four symphonies of Johannes Brahms are among the highlights of Adelaide Symphony Orchestra’s (ASO) recently launched 2025 season.
The works of female composers, including contemporary Australians Liza Lim, Olivia Davies and Elena Kats-Chernin, as well as the late Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, also receive their due in the season, in the two-part concert series Light-Song, curated by the Brisbane-born and Berlin-based composer Cathy Milliken and presented in partnership with the 2025 Adelaide Festival.
