2025 Sydney Symphony Fellows in concert

Everything feels closer in a chamber orchestra performance. In this intimate, personal atmosphere, you can hear each musician and the extraordinary sounds they can draw out of their instrument. 

Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No.3 is a ten-minute whirlwind of joy – a masterpiece in miniature that will leave you breathless. And that’s just the start. Music by Stravinsky, Monteverdi and Spohr demonstrates how much you can achieve with these small forces.

It’s music written to make you feel good.

Presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra
