Sydney Symphony Associate Concertmaster Harry Bennetts takes centre stage as soloist in this astounding, monumental piece.

Conductor Umberto Clerici is especially noted for demonstrating ‘nearly all the hallmarks of great Schubert conducting’ (Limelight), and here he brings to life Schubert's youthful take on tragedy in the moody Symphony No.4. The gorgeously melancholic opening gives way to a sparkling lightness, which will ring out across the City Recital Hall.  

When these masterpieces were written 200 years ago, orchestras and concert halls were smaller. This is your chance to hear these pieces as the composers would have heard them – the reduced forces and intimate venue allowing all of their texture and richness to shine.
