Event overview
Event details
The Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and conductor Leonard Weiss present timeless masterpieces from Glinka, Brahms and Saint-Saëns.
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. The opening of Brahms’ First Symphony sets the stage for a symphony filled with buttery lyricism and boisterous momentum. Assistant Concertmaster Tair Khisambeev will showcase the expressive virtuosity of Saint-Saëns' Violin Concerto No. 3, filled with soaring melodies and dazzling passages.
