About this Event
“You learn a lot from playing a piece like this. The solos are filled with beauty but also with anger and frustration. It covers the entire spectrum and features everything you can express on the violin."
- Andrew Wang, violin
Under the baton of Britain’s dynamic young conductor Kerem Hasan, join us for an unforgettable afternoon of musical storytelling. Hasan, making his highly anticipated Australian debut, joins forces with the nation's brightest young musicians before they, in turn, take on the world.
Experience the whimsical whirl of John Adams's The Chairman Dances, where historical figures waltz through a dreamscape of minimalism and jazz. Delight in Elena Kats-Chernin’s Fantasie im Wintergarten, a violin concerto featuring the remarkable Emily Sun, intertwining the dazzling allure of the circus with a poignant tale of love and betrayal. The night culminates in Strauss’s Ein Heldenleben, a symphonic masterpiece that journeys through a hero’s trials and triumphs. Don’t miss this extraordinary celebration of Australia’s young musical talent.
