Don’t miss out on a ticket to see this superstar in his only performance with orchestra in Sydney. 

Saint-Saëns’ Piano Concerto No.2 will stir and excite you at every turn. Lang Lang has chosen this piece for a reason: it’s an exhilarating journey from melancholy and moving to light and playful, from its dramatic opening to its wildly passionate finale. It's captivating to the final note.  

Before Lang Lang joins in thrilling fashion, the Sydney Symphony shines in Debussy’s La Mer, which lures you out to sea across three shimmering movements. This music is filled with the composer’s trademark intricate and flexible rhythms, with an all-consuming fluidity that carries you like a tide. Feel the invigorating wave of sound crash over you as the brass chords ring out in the finale. 

Boulanger’s D’un Matin de printemps vividly conjures the image of a fresh spring morning. In a matter of minutes, you’ll experience the rich soundscapes that cemented her legacy in 20th century music.

Led by our Conductor in Residence Benjamin Northey, secure your seat for this unforgettable night featuring iconic French music and a global phenomenon.
