The Voice of the Viola: Fiona Sargeant

Program:

Hindemith Der Schwanendreher
Brahms Serenade No.2

Sonorous sounds

The sonorous sounds of the viola anchor both works in this program featuring MSO musician Fiona Sargeant. Hindemith’s concerto—based on German folk song— portrays a travelling medieval musician.

Brahms’ Second Serenade—having no violins in the orchestration—brings out the rich sounds of the lower voices of the orchestra in an intimate setting.

Duration: approx. 1 hour, no interval

Featuring:

Melbourne Symphony Orchestra
Leonard Weiss*, conductor
Fiona Sargeant, viola
