Symphony No.1 to be recorded in Moscow
Matthew Dewey’s Symphony No. 1 is to be recorded by the Russian Philharmonic Orchestra in Moscow this year. The piece, in three movements, was inspired by Tom Holloway’s play ‘Beyond the Neck’ which explores the lives of four characters who had all been affected in profoundly different ways by the Port Arthur massacre of 1996. The work was originally commissioned by Damien Holloway and was premièred at the Hobart Town Hall by the Hobart Chamber Orchestra in May of 2008.
