Beethoven’s Seventh

We honour one of our own in this concert. Emma McGrath, TSO Concertmaster, steps into the spotlight and gives the world première of the Violin Concerto by Melbourne-based composer and musical supremo Joe Chindamo. Emma’s recent solo performances have been hailed in the music press as ‘exceptional’ and ‘exquisite’ so you’re in for a memorable night!

The concert commences with Kodály’s spicy Dances of Marosszek – based upon folk tunes from remote regions of Transylvania – and closes with the most consistently upbeat of all of Beethoven’s symphonies, the exuberant Symphony No 7. Breathing life into old favourites and the brand-new concerto is conductor Otto Tausk.
