Chief Conductor of the Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra and Mendelssohn specialist, Sebastian Lang-Lessing, returns to the ASO with keyboard sensation Max Foster, First Prize Winner of the 2008 ABC Symphony Australia Young Performers’ Award. Adelaide music lovers can savour Foster’s dynamism in Mozart’s E flat Piano Concerto, K.271, described as ‘one of Mozart’s monumental works, bursting with originality and boldness, which he never surpassed.’ From the gilded salons of Salzburg we move to the swirling mists and rugged scenery of Scotland, which evoked one of Felix Mendelssohn’s most inspired and exhilarating scores, his Scottish Symphony. Brace yourself for the second movement’s highland fling!

Master Series 4 - Sitkovetsky Serenade

Friday 30 April, 8pm

Saturday 1 May, 6:30pm

Adelaide Town Hall

Dmitry Sitkovetsky: Conductor and violin

Part: Fratres

Mozart: Serenade in B Flat for Thirteen Winds, K.361 Gran Partita

Mozart: Serenade in D, K.250 Haffner

Dmitry Sitkovetsky and the ASO reprise their sell-out 2008 success, this time with the hauntingly austere beauty of Arvo Pärt’s Fratres and continuing with two of Mozart’s greatest serenades, works which often competed for attention with the tinkle of champagne flutes and the titter of Salzburg’s A-List. The Gran Partita for 13 Wind Instruments with its technical brilliance, emotional complexity and spiritual profundity is the undisputed monarch of wind serenades. The Haffner
Serenade, on a similar scale, radiates poetic sensibility and magnificent melodic invention.
