Chief Conductor Simone Young is world-renowned for her interpretation of the great symphonies and draws everything out of this life-affirming masterpiece, celebrating Beethoven’s vision of universal harmony through the power of music with a superb, all-Australasian quartet of singers.
Demonstrating the continued power of Beethoven's profoundly human message, acclaimed First Nations composer William Barton has composed a new piece as a companion to this timeless symphony. Inspired by the themes in Beethoven’s work, Barton’s piece will provide a fresh, contemporary and uniquely Australian perspective.
With ageless exuberance and exciting new music, this is a concert experience that will leave you glowing with life. What better way to conclude an extraordinary season of unforgettable music.
