TSO ROCOCO VARIATIONS

Federation Concert Hall, 7.30pm

Call it creative recycling, but composers have always engaged with music from earlier times. This concert offers affectionate tributes from one composer to another and from one era to another. In his Variations on a Rococo Theme, Tchaikovsky summons the world of Mozart, a composer whose music he loved. Meanwhile, Ravel’s jewel-like Le Tombeau de Couperin honours the music of the French Baroque. Brahms was also in awe of his artistic heritage and revered the music of Haydn, Mozart and Beethoven. Featuring conductor Jaime Martín and cellist Narek Hakhnazaryan. Tickets from $35. tso.com.au

Georgie Carroll will perform in Hobart at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow.

MELBOURNE INTERNATIONAL COMEDY FESTIVAL ROADSHOW

Looking for a laugh? The Melbourne International Comedy Festival Roadshow brings comedians Ben Knight, Aaron Chen, Blake Freeman, Georgie Carroll and Lloyd Langford to the stage, celebrating the touring arm of one of the world’s largest comedy festivals. Tickets from $55. theatreroyal.com.au
