Inventi Ensemble have established themselves in Melbourne and are a leading force in Australian chamber music. Award winning performances in Australia’s leading concert halls and at festivals around the country have led to an enthusiastic following of their innovative programming and outstanding performance style.

Three simple notes open the famous 'Symphonic Dances' by Rachmaninov which then evolves into a unique work like no other. This arrangement celebrated the 150th anniversary of Rachmaninov’s birth in 2023, his Symphonic Dances receive the Inventi treatment! This beautiful and rich symphonic work features the colours and textures that Rachmaninov is famous for. Arranged for flute, oboe, bassoon, violin, viola, and cello, this musical adventure is the latest triumph in Inventi’s musical exploration.

Also featured on the program, a fantastic new work by Cheryl Durongpisitkul called ‘Hidden Pockets’. Cheryl is a dynamic artist in the Australian jazz landscape, dedicated to pushing boundaries in jazz and contemporary music performance and composition. This next to Borodin’s evocative ‘In the Steppes of Central Asia’ creates a gorgeous concert by Inventi.
