Beethoven, Mendelssohn & Fisher

Overview 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 – one of iridescent colour that prepares the ear for Beethoven ’s radiance. After the interval comes the stunning Mendelssohn Symphony No.3, inspired by his visit to Scotland in 1829. Take a seat, open your ears, and let the light in.
