If ever there was a program to show off the vastly improved acoustic at the SOH Concert Hall, it was this superb concert, featuring French pianist Jean-Efflam Bavouzet.

Ahead of his performances with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in October, the acclaimed French pianist discusses all things Ravel: his perfectionism, the gap between what he wrote and what he could play, and his Piano Concerto in G.

Simone Young's first official program includes Fidelio in concert and Mahler Two, which celebrates a return to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in July.

Bavouzet puts Beethoven’s peers under the microscope to revealing effect.

Discover how Yo-Yo Ma is bridging cultures with a unique event, learn about the restorative powers of music, and read up on the history of ballet music.
