Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets
About Saint-Saëns’ Organ Symphony
When the Grand Organ enters Saint-Saëns’ Third Symphony, the room changes.
When the Sydney Opera House Grand Organ roars to life the sound will shake the Concert Hall with its deep, resonant power – and just wait until you hear Anna Lapwood play. Her playing is technically brilliant, but her warmth and contagious energy makes this an unmissable event.
Bruch’s First Violin Concerto is one of the most beautiful ever written. From the brooding and impassioned opening to the lyricism and rhythmic fire of the second movement, this music asks the soloist to be storyteller and expert technician – and at just 22 years old, violinist María Dueñas is both. Already making waves with her focused intensity, The Strad calls her playing ‘poetic and magnetic.’
Conductor Alexander Soddy connects these beloved works with striking clarity and flair.
