Beethoven & Tchaikovsky

Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles brings his vast experience to bear on two of the greatest works in orchestral music in this unmissable concert Tchaikovsky’s Violin Concerto is one of the most famous in the violin repertoire, breath-taking whether you’re hearing it for the first time or the hundredth. The thrilling climax of the first movement, where the soloist’s runs are picked up by the orchestra, feels like a fire catching. In her Sydney debut, Bomsori Kim – a violinist signed to Deutsche Grammophon and blessed with 'virtuosity, presence, clarity and a warm, rich tone' ( Crescendo Magazine ) - brings Tchaikovsky's unforgettable melodies to life. Since its very first performance, when the audience demanded an encore of the gripping second movement, Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony has been incredibly popular. This is a work full of lively rhythms and catchy melodies that feel truly spontaneous. The second movement is reflective and triumphant, and the finale sweeps you up with its irrepressible energy. From a gorgeous violin concerto to a symphony that will leave your heart racing, this concert is full of music that will make you feel. Presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra
