Baroque to Bernstein – Presented by Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra

You will hear this beautiful building reverberate with music of the Baroque era – Albinoni and Vivaldi to Bernstein and Berlin.

The Anzac Centenary Commemoration of the Gallipoli landing is still fresh in the memory of many people in our region, and was a very special and an emotional time.

After the orchestra’s opening piece by Rossini we will perform the stirring and emotive Adagio in G minor for Organ and Strings by Albinoni which many will recognise from the film Gallipoli.

One of the many highlights of the concert will also be the Double Oboe Concertoboeo in D minor performed by local oboists Sue Hunkin and Elizabeth Dawson. This delightful piece – rarely performed and relatively short – has all the characteristics of Vivaldi and the Baroque genre, ornate and delicate, yet effervescent and full of latent energy.

You, the audience, will be transported to Disneyland and the seventh segment of Disney’s “Fantasia” – Ponchielli’s “Dance of the Hours”

Bernstein and Irving Berlin are also a feature in the afternoon’s entertainment. Bopping cool melodies from West Side Story and Berlin’s easy and listenable songs.

This superb kaleidoscopic programme will be performed for you on the 19th by the superb Sunshine Coast Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Adrian King.Wind and Strings1
