The dead rise for a dance-off, the saxophone gets to shine and deals are made with devil 😈
Skeletons usually come out at midnight. But these friendly remains will make an exception when they join us at 6pm. In Danse macabre, the dead rise from their graves for an epic dance-off. Eivind Aadland conducts this wicked music from French composer Saint-Saëns.
We’re closer to home when Jabra Latham breathes new life into the classical saxophone. The Tasmanian virtuoso knows the wind instrument like the back of his hand, and he wrote a concerto to showcase how beautifully the saxophone can sing. See and hear it glisten on our Federation Concert Hall stage.
If you’re taking a drink into the hall, you can raise a glass to the elixir of youth in Gounod’s Faust. This ballet music is about a man who gets a second chance at life after making a pact with the devil.
🎷 Latham’s Saxophone Concerto was commissioned for the TSO by a collective of private donors.
🎵 Conducted by Eivind Aadland and featuring Jabra Latham on saxophone. TSO Viola Will Newbery returns as your 6pm host.
