Víkingur Ólafsson Returns presented by the Sydney Symphony Orchestra tickets
About Víkingur Ólafsson Returns
Superstar pianist Víkingur Ólafsson returns for the Australian premiere of John Adams’s After the Fall, written especially for Ólafsson. Bruckner’s Sixth Symphony offers a dramatic and striking contract, conducted by Lawrence Renes.
The applause for Vikingur Olafsson’s 2024 Sydney Symphony debut was still echoing around the Concert Hall when we started work to bring him back.
Now he returns with a new work written for him by John Adams, one of the most influential figures in contemporary classical music. Hailed as ‘nothing short of phenomenal’ (Adventures in Music), his piano concerto After the Fall receives its Australian premiere.
Bruckner’s Sixth is vast and unhurried, like a surging tide, each phrase opening into the next until the orchestra seems to glow from within. Conductor Lawrence Renes shapes Bruckner’s monumental vision with intense clarity.
Víkingur Ólafsson's performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra have been made possible with generous support from the Berg Family Foundation.
