Overview
Guest conductor Nil Venditti returns for a program featuring the best of late Romantic melody and rhythm
In typical Rachmaninov style, his Second Symphony is awash with yearning and romantic melodies that catapulted it to immediate success. Rachmaninov saw himself as a composer first and foremost, and a pianist second, so if you like his famous Piano Concertos, you will love this breathtaking symphony.
Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) is joined by Joyce Yang as soloist in Gershwin’s melodic Piano Concerto, which mixes classical sensibility with rhythmic jazz and soulful blues. Syncopation and Charleston rhythms nestle happily alongside Gershwin’s hallmark lush orchestration, perfectly capturing 1920s New York.
