The Sydney Symphony Orchestra returns to Wollongong for one performance only, with a powerful program of music by two of the great composers: Beethoven and Schubert.
Of all the great violin concertos, Beethoven’s might be the crown jewel. From the expansive and sublime opening to its triumphant finale, it is every bit a masterpiece. And in the hands of Sydney Symphony Associate Concertmaster Harry Bennetts as soloist, every second of this astounding, monumental piece will inspire.
Conductor Umberto Clerici is especially noted for demonstrating ‘nearly all the hallmarks of great Schubert conducting’ (Limelight), and here he brings to life Schubert’s youthful take on tragedy in the moody Symphony No.4. The gorgeously melancholic opening gives way to a sparkling lightness, which will ring out across Wollongong.
Don’t miss your chance to hear two great masterpieces brought to life by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
