Ray Chen Returns
October 11, 2019 @ 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
$88
Tune in to the magical charms of violin and strings with Queensland Symphony Orchestra and Ray Chen. Revel in music by Bach and Handel, the towering composers of the Baroque Period. Bach’s compelling and energised suite is majestic. Stately grandeur also informs Handel’s Concerto with its glorious antiphonal effects, the period’s equivalence of stereo. Also savour the refreshing sound world of horns, oboes and bassoon. In Mendelssohn’s Concerto, the violin’s soaring melody, the orchestra’s exquisitely spun accompaniment and the astonishing pyrotechnics required from the soloist is breathtaking. Enjoy more of this composer’s flair for crafting melody and dramatic string tapestries in Sinfonia No.10.
