Hough is one of the world’s great pianists, and since his debut with the Sydney Symphony more than 30 years ago he has been a regular visitor, captivating audiences with his sublime artistry.

In this concert he applies his considerable talents to Mendelssohn’s Piano Concerto No.1: arresting and delicate all at once, this sparkling piece will captivate from the start, with some moments that leave you breathless and others full of rhythmic delight.

Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles is another frequent collaborator and old friend – not just of the Orchestra’s but of Hough’s as well, making them the perfect pair to lead this adventure to the heart of the Romantic era.
