Maestro 10: Alpine Symphony featuring orchestra member Kathy Close

A season finale not to be missed

Opening with a glorious musical depiction of sunrise over the alps, Strauss’ monumental tone poem An Alpine Symphony evokes the majesty of the mountain range and magnificent beauty of nature, calling on an orchestra of over 100 musicians including a heckelphone, an off-stage brass ensemble, and cow bells.

The piece is paired with another beloved depiction of nature in music: Vaughan Williams’ glorious The Lark Ascending. Associate Concertmaster Glenn Christensen will exhibit his virtuosity in the beautiful solo violin part whirling above a deep and tranquil orchestral accompaniment.

The program is completed with a new work by Australian composer Harry Sdraulig, specially commissioned for this concert.

Don’t miss Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s (QSO) 2027 season closing concert, and Umberto Clerici’s final performance as Chief Conductor.
