Beethoven, Mendelssohn & Fisher

Overview Start your Friday with a touch of classical brilliance with this Morning Masterworks concert Where grace meets grandeur in perfect balance. Beethoven ’s sole Violin Concerto marries nobility with disarming simplicity: long, singing lines that seem to float above time, flashes of playful wit, and passages of hushed intimacy. Satu Vänskä , Principal Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra , brings its poetry to life with limitless grace. Led by Guest Conductor Giordano Bellincampi , the orchestra crafts a luminous backdrop, rich in nuance and delicacy. Opening the evening, New Zealander Salina Fisher ’s Murmuring Light casts a delicate spell – eight minutes of iridescent colour that prepares the ear for Beethoven ’s radiance. After the interval comes Mendelssohn ’s Hebrides overture before we conclude with Beethoven’s Violin Concerto. Take a seat, open your ears, and let the light in.
