New arrangements of Hungarian Dances by Brahms and Ravel's String Quartet also appear in the performance.

Tognetti, who is also the production's artistic director, is full of praise for the talented Frost. In a statement, he said: "No introduction will do justice to Martin Frost. Quite simply, he is the most exciting clarinettist alive."

Full-price tickets cost between AU$49 and AU$89, although a discounted rate of AU$38 is available for under-30s. Concessions can get in for AU$42.
