Transfigured Night by Mozart, Respighi, Schoenberg, Arnold, jeu. 10 oct. 2024, Du (2024/2024), City Recital Hall, Sydney, Australie

Schoenberg’s Transfigured Night is based on a poem by German poet Richard Dehmel and features an emotionally charged scene between two lovers. It opens with an extraordinarily atmospheric section that draws us into the layered weight of night. Beginning at sunset, this vivid program of three brilliant chamber pieces captures the sensuous depth and drama of night, directed here by our Concertmaster Andrew Haveron, alongside mezzo soprano Anna Dowsley. Mozart’s Serenata Notturna is classically elegant and entertaining. And Respighi's rare jewel Il Tramonto is based on a poem full of changing colours, moods and delicate harmonies. Just like the sunsets for which it is named. Make sure you’re part of this intriguing showcase of extraordinary music and talent at the City Recital Hall.
