Alexander Melnikov Performs Shostakovich

When

Every day, 2pm to 4pm Saturday 22 June 2024 to Sunday 23 June 2024

Cost

Adult tickets from : $45

The dazzling musical fireworks of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture are pure entertainment, and the perfect way to open this program of triumphant, witty and brilliant virtuosity from two extraordinary soloists, conducted by the exciting Giordano Bellincampi.

Pianist Alexander Melnikov brings his impressive energy to Shostakovich’s First Piano Concerto. Principal Trumpet David Elton weaves a tender, sombre magic in its delightfully wistful passages.

Every tale here is told with beauty and magnificence, presenting us with enthralling and very human portraits.
