Program Book
Behind every great piece is a great story. Have a read through the program book to get all the details.
Benjamin Britten is a legend of 20th century music; a prolific composer who wrote film music, opera choral music and symphonies. But he’s perhaps most celebrated for his chamber music, and two of these remarkable works are presented by the musicians of the Sydney Symphony.
The rebellious, creative spirit also marks Dimitri Shostakovich’s work, celebrated here with a rare performance of this beautiful and powerful Chamber Symphony, which captures the soul of one of the Russian’s great, lyrical string quartets.
