Event Details

Classical music is the greatest of art forms - but that doesn't mean you have to take it too seriously! Brahms and Graeme Koehne show the way.

More than anyone, Graeme Koehne is determined to break down the artificial barrier between popular taste and 'high art'. And his trumpet concerto - composed for James Morrison and the Sydney Symphony in 2003 - does exactly that. Koehne brings the infectious spirit of cartoons, pop and Latin-infused jazz into the concert hall and gives Morrison a vehicle for his brilliant and inimitable trumpet style.

It's left to Rachmaninoff to raise the tone with themes of mortality and faith in his brooding and intoxicating Symphonic Dances.

Featured non-Australian music: Rachmaninoff
