Grieg's Piano Concerto

Among Friends

While World War I typically inspired more sombre art, Ravel’s piece celebrates the memory of lost friends with French baroque style. More joy follows with Grieg's Piano Concerto.

Program

Behind every great piece is a great story. Have a read through the program book to get all the details.

From its dramatic opening to its lyrical slow movement and spectacular ending, it captures the essence of Grieg's Norwegian heritage – particularly in its folkdance finale.

Switching from serious to playful, innovating by twists and turns, the remarkable 104th was Haydn’s last symphony – and remains one of his most popular.

SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY

The Sydney Symphony will continue to apply NSW Public Health Orders as they relate to ticketing and seating arrangements. As these Orders can change at very short notice, we will be allocating seats closer in time to concert dates than we have in previous seasons. This will allow us to maintain a COVID-19 safe environment.
