Event Details
PROKOFIEV Symphony No 1, Classical
SCHOENBERG Chamber Symphony No 2
DVORAK Cello Concerto
KOEHNE The Persistence of Memory
"Few pieces of music are as moving as Dvořák’s Cello Concerto. Composed for the great Czech cellist Hanuš Wihan in the mid-1890s, it combines technical virtuosity with heartfelt emotion. In the course of writing the work, Dvořák received word of the death of a much loved friend, and the concerto takes on a beautifully serene tone as it makes its way towards its elegiac conclusion. Schoenberg’s Chamber Symphony No 2 is a landmark work of musical modernism while Prokofiev’s Classical Symphony brims with vitality and good humour.
"Pre-concert talk with Dr Maria Grenfell and Marko Letonja commences at 6.30pm." -- Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra
Featured non-Australian music: Dvorak, Prokofiev, Schoenberg
