Rising Stars - Gregory Lee

A stage for tomorrow’s most exciting musical talents.

Winner of the 2024 Australian National Piano Award, Joshua Han has been praised for “complete mastery of his instrument and complete empathy with the music” (Sydney Arts Guide). He joins QSO for Liszt’s Second Piano Concerto under the baton of Samy Rachid. The piece is a stream-of consciousness rhapsody in which beautifully dreamy melodies alternate with wild virtuosity, while the orchestra comes to the fore in Liszt’s most popular symphonic poem Les Préludes.

The program is rounded out with works from two talented living composers. A response to Dvořák’s Ninth Symphony, Camille Pépin’s ethereal Un Monde nouveau (A New World) imagines a revitalised world after climate change, while Matthew Hindson’s new commission for amplified cello uses effects pedals to play with the sound of the cello.
