Join Artistic Director Roy Theaker, internationally renown violinist Brigid Coleridge and Stonnington Symphony for a program featuring two of the greats - Dimitri Shostakovich and Richard Strauss.In Shostakovich's Violin Concerto No.1, Op.99, haunting introspection meets defiant resilience. The solo violin navigates through intricate passages, intertwining with the orchestra's depth to convey a profound emotional journey, showcasing Shostakovich's mastery of both solo and orchestral textures.
Richard Strauss's Till Eulenspiegls Lustige Streiche ("Till Eulenspiegel's Merry Pranks") is a witty musical narrative. With vivid orchestration and playful melodies, it portrays the exploits of the folkloric trickster Till, offering a thrilling journey through humour and adventure. Tod und Verklarung ("Death and Transfiguration") contrasts this humour with profound reflection. It delves into life's culmination with poignant melodies and powerful orchestral textures, showcasing Strauss's versatility in emotional storytelling.
