08 March 2013

Venue: Concert Hall  View Seat Map
Presented by: Sydney Symphony

Classical music is the greatest of art forms – but that doesn’t mean you have to take it too seriously! James Morrison shows the way.

Description

 More than anyone, Graeme Koehne is determined to break down the artificial barrier between popular taste and ‘high art’. His trumpet concerto does exactly that and brings the infectious spirit of cartoons, pop and Latin-infused jazz into the concert hall, giving James Morrison a vehicle for his brilliant and inimitable trumpet style.

More than anyone, Graeme Koehne is determined to break down the artificial barrier between popular taste and ‘high art’. And his trumpet concerto – composed for James Morrison and the Sydney Symphony in 2003 – does exactly that. Koehne brings the infectious spirit of cartoons, pop and Latin-infused jazz into the concert hall and gives Morrison a vehicle for his brilliant and inimitable trumpet style.

Brahms breaks down barriers of his own with a ‘solemn’ ceremonial overture that quotes university drinking songs for a rousing introduction to the concert. It’s left to Rachmaninoff to raise the tone with themes of mortality and faith in his brooding and intoxicating Symphonic Dances.
