Australian Chamber Orchestra present Euphoric Beethoven 8
Australian Chamber Orchestra Lead Violinist Richard Tognetti and Principal Cellist Timo-Veikko Valve showcase their precious Guarneri instruments in Brahms’ final orchestral work, the exuberant Double Concerto. ‘The slow movement is an ardent, ecstatic song, the finale a joyous, folksy celebration’ – The Guardian. In an unmissable display of symphonic brilliance, the concert opens with Prokofiev’s amusing modern take on a Haydn-style symphony and comes to a rousing conclusion with Beethoven’s Eighth Symphony.

ADELAIDE SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TRIUMPHANT SPIRIT Polish pianist Ewa Kupiec is one of the fastest rising stars in the international piano firmament. One critic proclaimed her as “made for the music of Schumann”. Experience her unique artistry in the lyrical and elegant Schumann Piano Concerto. Arvo Volmer and the ASO then bring down the curtain on 2008, with Prokofiev’s multi-faceted masterpiece, his Fifth Symphony, which fuses urbane wit with ultimate nobility. It is one of the select few 20th Century symphonies which have earned classic status, an exhilarating conclusion to the 2008 Season.
