Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Lunchtime Classics with the Sydney Symphony
13 February 2026 @ 12:30 pm - 1:30 pm AEDT

The Sydney Town Hall Organ roars to terrifying life in Bach’s Toccata & Fugue – dark, dramatic and instantly recognisable. And Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice is musical mischief in motion, tiptoeing winds, glinting glockenspiel and sudden brass jolts.
And in an iconic moment from cinema, Bernard Herrmann shows it only takes a few notes to terrify you in Psycho.
Conducted by James Judd, praised by The Independent for his ‘inspired, passionate music-making’, this program delivers a spine-tingling set of short works with wicked twists.
