Unfortunately due to travel complications, soloist Jayson Gillham will not be able to join us for Brilliance and Tenderness – Symphony Series 2 on 9 & 10 April. However, we are delighted to announce that renowned Australian pianist Daniel de Borah will be stepping in to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.17. We’re thrilled to hear Daniel bring to life this piano concerto which balances genial humour with the composer’s quintessential elegance.

Lili Boulanger was the younger sister of legendary composition teacher Nadia. Lili’s death at 24 robbed the world of a beautiful musical spirit; her picture of a spring morning gives you a glimpse into her radiant musical imagination.

If you love Dvořák’s symphony From the New World, you’ll be captivated by the strength and darkly glowing power of his Seventh Symphony. The radiant final bars tell of a hard-fought battle against adversity; truly, this is music for our times.

Program to include

  • Boulanger D'un matin de Printemps (Of a spring morning)
  • Mozart Piano Concerto No.17
  • Dvořák Symphony No.7
