Conductor

Nicholas Milton

No other city on earth has given the world music of such infectious charm as Vienna. The greatness of its musical tradition is given expression in a rich variety of classics and also in a wondrous tradition of popular music, represented with the same spirited sensibility and genius for melody.

The masters of this popular tradition were, of course, the Strauss family, the Kings of the Waltz and Polka. In this concert, the charming Nicholas Milton makes his very welcome return to Adelaide from his busy international career.

The ASO program will celebrate the wondrous creations of Johann Strauss and other members of the Strauss family, together with Franz Lehar, von Suppe and others who helped create the wonderful Viennese popular tradition.
