Join the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and conductor Leonard Weiss for an unforgettable evening filled with timeless masterpieces from Glinka, Saint-Saëns and Brahms.
The Overture to Glinka's opera Ruslan and Lyudmila is the epitome of orchestral curtain-raisers, with a furiously fast and infectious opening and rollicking good fun throughout.
Assistant Concertmaster Tair Khisambeev will showcase the expressive virtuosity of Saint-Saëns' Violin Concerto No. 3, filled with soaring melodies and dazzling passages.
The opening of Brahms’ First Symphony is astonishing – it seems to have already been playing when we, the audience, intrude upon its crashing chords. This dramatic entrance sets the stage for a symphony filled with buttery lyricism and boisterous momentum, with its signature sound being thoroughly Brahms’.
