Mozart, Salieri & Pleyel presented by Australian Brandenburg Orchestra tickets
About Mozart, Salieri & Pleyel
Anchored by Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 — one of his most majestic and emotionally charged works — this program features the Australian premiere of a cracking Sinfonia by Antonio Salieri (unheard until 2024) and the world premiere of a recently unearthed concerto by Ignaz Pleyel to be played by the Brandenburg’s Principal Baroque Bass Robert Nairn. Lost to time and never before performed, Pleyel’s work will finally be added to the rich tapestry of classical repertoire.
With an expanded orchestral palette including full winds, brass, timpani, and a 19-piece string section, this concert offers a bold and resonant sound that fills the hall with drama, elegance, and power.
Mozart, Salieri & Pleyel is more than a tribute to these great classical masters. It offers a revelatory journey, inviting audiences to experience this golden age of music with fresh ears and to uncover the timeless surprises the classical world still holds.
