Majak Door are a sly surf-rock, 60's psychedelia, dreamy wave pop hailing from Melbourne, Australia. Named after their favorite AFL footballer Majak Daw, the six-piece band began touring relentlessly over 2018-19, releasing 2 EP's ‘Weird Guy’ and ‘Samples Of The Solar System’ to critical acclaim from fans and peers alike. Although 2020 wasn’t what anyone had hoped for Majak Door pushed through releasing not only their very chilled take on Stardusts ‘The Music Sounds Better With You’ but two exciting new singles ‘Everybody Wants You’ and ‘Will She Leave You’ receiving strong Triple J airplay and honorable mentions in media outlets like Pilerats and features on Spotify editorial playlists like ‘Indie Arrivals.’

Once the brunt of 2020 had finished, the band were immediately back in action playing shows across Victoria while they waited for the other state borders to open up. In 2021 the band has already sold out multiple shows including The Workers Club and Wrangler Studios in Melbourne and supporting close friends Loose Bricks on their headline run of dates back in April with multiple dates all selling out before the band went into another lengthy lockdown.

After announcing and releasing their debut self titled album in September of 2021, Majak Door released quality single after another from ‘L’aqua Salata (Ain’t So Sweet) to ‘Smoke In The Air’ and the irresistible ‘My Nostalgia’ leaving fans of the band in awe of the musical depth and thoughtful storytelling in their lyrics.

After selling out their album launch in December Majak Door are making up for the lost time with a ruthless touring schedule supporting bands like Pacific Avenue, The Terrys, and The Rions across the country and there is no slowing down.

On Thursday 9 November they will be launching single 'Jasmine' at the Brunswick Ballroom with special guests: The Mirrors and Taylah Carroll

The China National Symphony Orchestra will make their return to Australia this year after an absence of six years. Over 80 musicians make up this world-class orchestra under the baton of CNSO’s conductor Maestro Li Xincao. They will perform one concert only the Arts Centre Melbourne on 2 December. The concert also features violinist Lu Siqing, the first Asian prizewinner of the Paganini Competition.

Prestigious conductor Li Xincao has shown his adaptability to different programs and his correct understanding of different styles of works. He was praised especially for his excellent performance in German and Austrian works and in the new works by the Chinese contemporary composers. Over the years, Li Xincao has spread music to all five continents with worldwide recognition both in the field of symphony and opera. In particular, he has led China National Symphony Orchestra for historic visits around the world, winning enthusiastic responses and high praise from authoritative music critics from all over the world.

Well-recognized as one of the most outstanding Chinese violinists of today, Lu Siqing performs regularly with major national and international orchestras. As the first asian violinist to win the esteemed International Paganini Violin Competition, Lu's performances have received great acclaim in some of the world's most prestigious concert halls and in more than forty countries and territories, including the Musikverein in Vienna, Avery Fisher Hall and Alice Tully Hall in New York City, Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Sydney Opera House, among others.

The China National Symphony Orchestra, founded in 1956, is the most outstanding Chinese orchestra and has been instrumental in promoting and developing the art of symphonic music in China, introducing Chinese audiences to a large repertoire of classical, romantic, modern and contemporary orchestral works by both Western and Asian composers. Serving as a cultural ambassador, CNSO have engaged in intercultural dialogues and promoted friendship between China and the world through music during many international tours.

The CNSO has performed with many top artists including Herbert von Karajan, Seiji Ozawa, Charles Dutoit, Krystof Penderecki, David Oistrakh, Yehudi Menuhin, Isaac Stern, Anne-Sophie Mutter, Martha Argerich, Mischa Maisky, Giuseppe Giacomini, Lang Lang, Wang Yuja and Han-Na Chang.

During the past decades, the CNSO has undertaken international tours to the USA, United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Spain, Mexico, Japan,and many other cities. The London Times praised the orchestra “as a sophisticated musical group with vigorous sounds and excellent technique.” The Washington Post mentioned the Orchestra “is a solid, energetic and meticulously drilled ensemble.”

For the Orchestra’s Australian tour 2023, the CNSO will perform a selection of masterpieces including Overture Dance of The Yao People, The Butterfly Lovers composed by He Zhanhao and Chen Gang and Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major op. 92. Overture Dance of the Yao People is one of the best known and most popular Chinese instrumental compositions of the second half of the 20th century that inspired by the long drum dance. The Butterfly Lovers is one of the most famous Chinese works of orchestral music written for a Western-style orchestra, an adaptation of an ancient legend, the Butterfly Lovers. Beethoven Symphony No. 7 in A Major op. 92 is remarked by Beethoven as one of his best works and the second movement, "Allegretto" is frequently performed separately to this day.

This is a unique opportunity for Australian audiences to experience exquisite music and witness the supreme skill and artistry of the China National Symphony Orchestra.
