ANAM Recitals

Australian National Academy of Music: Louise Turnbull

Abbotsford Convent 1 St Heliers St, Abbotsford, VIC, Australia
Ernst, Bhat, Pärt, Korngold “The program begins with Ernst’s Polyphonic Etude No. 6, titled The Last Rose of Summer — a work that is both incredibly technically demanding and deeply musically rewarding.

Beethoven & Brahms

Queensland Symphony Orchestra: Beethoven & Brahms

QPAC Corner Melbourne St and Grey St, South Bank, QLD, Australia

Editor's Choice Donald Runnicles conducts Strauss & Beethoven

Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Donald Runnicles conducts Strauss & Beethoven

Sydney Opera House Sydney, NSW, Australia
Cinematic in scale, this concert is built around Richard Strauss’s tone poem Ein Heldenleben (A Hero’s Life) from 1898. Strauss wrote, “While it has no funeral march, it does have lots of horns, horns being quite the thing to express heroism,” so look forward to yet another tour de force from Samuel Jacobs…
