About Listen to This: Discover Tchaikovsky
Listen to This is an evening of musical discovery like no other, hosted by Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey.
Part performance, part guided tour, this unique event offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Tchaikovsky’s music works.
Tchaikovsky’s Fifth Symphony is one of his most powerful creations, famous for its cyclical theme. It opens in restraint with a mournful clarinet melody, shadowed by the strings. By the time we reach the finale that tragic opening theme returns transformed, now defiant.
Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey takes a closer look at this magnificent work, exploring musical motifs and composing techniques that make this symphony – and its composer – so special.
Held at the Sydney Opera House, with no interval and a dynamic, engaging format, Listen to This is designed for curious minds – whether you’re discovering classical music for the very first time, or finding out what makes your favourite pieces tick.
