Debussy Prélude á "L’après-midi d’un faune” (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun)
Ginastera Concerto No.1 for Piano and Orchestra, Op.28 *
Brahms Symphony No.4 in E minor, Op.98 *
Prepare yourself for an emotional journey as the 2018 Artist-in-Residence and Queensland Symphony Orchestra perform three pieces that transport you from low to high and everywhere in between.
A beautiful flute solo introduces Debussy’s groundbreaking piece full of non-western scales and slippery harmonies that leave you feeling relaxed and dreamy.
Then, be sharply awakened by Ginastera’s Concerto – a complete firecracker that takes us on a voyage of extremes covering everything from the pastoral to a pounding, percussive finale.
Finally, we hear Brahms’ Fourth, a monumental symphony.
