Maestro 1: QSO 80: Season Opener featuring orchestra member Lauren Manuel
An epic opening to QSO’s 80th anniversary season
Umberto Clerici opens his final Maestro series as Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s (QSO) Chief Conductor with John Adams’ epic Harmonielehre. This symphony for the age of pop encompasses everything from Medieval mythology and Jungian philosophy to late-Romantic harmonies and Adams’ signature driving Minimalist rhythms.
World-renowned violinist Ilya Gringolts joins as soloist in Shostakovich’s monumental First Violin Concerto, a deeply personal work which Shostakovich had to keep hidden until after Stalin’s death. The powerful and moving piece is one of his most intense and personal works.
The concert opens with a new fanfare by Australian composer Joseph Twist, specially commissioned for QSO’s 80th birthday.
