A Romantic Symphony

A beautiful symphony
A brand new concerto
Dates Wed 22 Aug, Fri 24 Aug, Sat 25 Aug Venue Sydney Opera House
Duration To be advised.

Immerse your ears in colour with music from three masters of the orchestra: Debussy, Vine and Brahms.

This concert is all about the colour of sound and three master composers for the orchestra - from 19th-century Germany, 20th-century France and the Australia of here and now.

It begins with French impressions of English jigs and springtime dances - subtle and evocative. Then there's a brand new piano concerto, composed for pianist Piers Lane by a composer who sometimes describes his music as "radically tonal" - big tunes and Technicolor richness.

Finally, Brahms's Second Symphony brings warm colours and a lyrical mood - easy-going Romantic impulse shaped by Classical genius.

Pre-concert talk by David Larkin at 7.15pm in the Northern Foyer.
