With entertaining and informative hosts, QSO’s Music on Sundays concerts are the perfect pre-lunch activity in the heart of South Bank, in a convenient 90-minute timeslot
Conductor Emilia Hoving brings Finnish charm and fire to her Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) debut in a program of contrasts.
Beginning with a brassy call to attention in a new Fanfare by Australian composer Joseph Twist, the beauty of nature is then depicted in Moberg’s expansive and rarely performed Sunrise Suite, while Mendelssohn’s beloved and scenic Hebrides Overture takes centre stage.
Sibelius’ bright and majestic Karelia Suite and Ravel’s elegantly neoclassical Le Tombeau de Couperin evoke far-away times and places, while Tchaikovsky’s Romeo and Juliet Fantasy-Overture gives a glimpse of the romantic story in his beautiful melodic style.
