Love is in the air.
At the heart of the concert is a new harp concerto by Tristan Coelho, written as a gift for his wife and Queensland Symphony Orchestra Principal Harp, Emily Granger. Personal and poetic, it showcases the harp’s brilliance and bold expressiveness.
The concert closes with Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Overture-Fantasy, a sweeping portrait of passion and heartbreak drawn from Shakespeare’s timeless tale.
Also featured are two deeply moving works: Mascagni’s Cavalleria Rusticana Intermezzo and Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Though shorter in scale, they’re both rich in feeling and emotional depth.
An evening of romance awaits.
