Hear the Sydney Symphony Brass Ensemble in a spectacular arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition.
You may not always be able to see the brass players of the Sydney Symphony sitting at the back of the stage, but you can certainly hear them as they bring colour and zing to the sound of the orchestra.
In 2012 we once again display the talents of these fabulous musicians in a concert that promenades from the high Renaissance to high Romanticism and on to music of our own time and place. The program culminates in Elgar Howarth's spectacular arrangement of Pictures at an Exhibition.
Preludes, fanfares and canzonas by
Giovanni Gabrieli, Richard Strauss,
Wagner and Australian composers, with
MUSSORGSKY arr. Howarth Pictures at an Exhibition
