A program of passion and flair featuring Melbourne Chamber Orchestra with accordion sensation James Crabb.

Experience the incredible James Crabb in a program that showcases the possibilities of the accordion.

Renowned for his electrifying stage presence and interpretive depth, Crabb brings his unique flair to works by leading composers.

From the ornate beauty of Rameau and the bold invention of CPE Bach to Gubitsch’s tango pulse and the raw soul of Scottish tradition, these works speak across time and place with one voice: expressive, searching, alive.

Aaron Wyatt offers a deeply moving portrait of the Australian landscape. Exploring themes of identity, Country, and connection to nature, his reflections ground the program in a powerful sense of place.

With Crabb in the spotlight, this concert promises a memorable journey through sound, land, and story, delivered with passion and imagination.
