Overview
With the American Contemporary Music Ensemble
One of the most influential and acclaimed composers of all time, Max Richter is bringing his highly anticipated first ever world tour to Australia, performing a selection of his best-loved works from The Blue Notebooks and the newly released In A Landscape alongside the visionary American Contemporary Music Ensemble.
Max Richter’s fusion of classical technique and electronic technology – heard across genre-defining solo albums and countless scores for the likes of Dior and Kim Jones, Denis Villeneuve, Martin Scorsese and Woolf Works by Wayne McGregor, to name a few – has won him legions of fans around the world and blazed a trail for a generation of musicians.
His latest release and ninth studio album In A Landscape is a meditation on the present that brings together the electronic and the acoustic, the human and the natural world. In A Landscape employs homogenous musical language to Richter’s seminal album The Blue Notebooks, with the two albums bookending this significant chapter of Richter’s life and career.
With a catalogue amassing over three billion streams to date making him the most-streamed classical artist in the world, don’t miss this transcendent evening with Max Richter and the American Contemporary Music Ensemble.
