About

Enjoy an evening featuring five of the greatest works in classical music!

Rossini’s evocative overture, with its flowing melodies and infectious momentum, is instantly recognisable. Meanwhile, Grieg’s Piano Concerto is loved for its lyrical and melodic tunes, drawn from Norwegian folk music.

Witness the fire, passion and revenge in a doomed Spanish love story in the orchestral suite from Bizet’s Carmen and bathe in the silvery light of Debussy’s ode to the moon.

Finally, Gershwin’s vivid musical postcard portrays the impressions of Parisian life – the American tourist brought to life in a bluesy trumpet solo, rollicking syncopated rhythms, and sweeping, romantic melodies.

Tom Fetherstonhaugh (conductor), Eric Lu (piano).
