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.

Master Series 6 - Dances and Romances

Friday 21 May, 8pm
Saturday 22 May, 6:30pm
Festival Theatre

Arvo Volmer: Conductor

Peter Jablonski: Piano

Tchaikovsky: Romeo and Juliet: Overture

Chopin: Piano Concerto No 2

Berlioz: Romeo and Juliet: Love Scene

Bernstein: West Side Story: Symphonic Dances

The extreme and ultimately fatal passion of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet has cast a spell over composers as diverse as Piotr Tchaikovsky and Leonard Bernstein. Tchaikovsky’s 20 minute distillation of the
play is among the most beloved works in the repertoire where the composer reveals his deeply romantic spirit. In West Side Story, Bernstein transferred the setting from 16th century Verona to the mean streets of New York, where rival street gangs express themselves
in dance. Former Vladimir Ashkenazy protégé, Peter Jablonski, described by The Australian as ‘a young eagle in full flight’, brings the true spirit of Poland to Chopin’s Second Piano Concerto in the composers’ 200th anniversary year.
