Adelaide Symphony Orchestra: Swansong
Flautist Kim Falconer and harpist Jessica Fotinos feature in Mozart’s Concerto for Flute and Harp, written on commission in 1778 during the composer’s fated trip to Paris with his mother, Anna Maria, who died there. The concert begins with Sibelius’s tone poem The Swan of Tuonela, composed in 1893, while Tchaikovsky’s Pathétique rounds out the program. Completed shortly before his death in 1893, it was his final completed symphony. Otto Tausk conducts.
