Pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard tackles Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto, while Chief Conductor Simone Young brings to life a brand-new symphony by beloved Australian composer Ross Edwards

Pierre-Laurent Aimard, praised by The Guardian for his “astonishing clarity and control”, is the perfect artist for Brahms’s Second Piano Concerto – a concerto that feels symphonic in scope, full of stormy intensity and aching beauty.

Simone Young leads the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in the world premiere of Ross Edwards’s Seventh Symphony. Known for his rhythmically alive sound, often coloured by the natural landscape, Edwards’s work has shaped Australian music for a generation.

Presented by Sydney Symphony Orchestra
