For Friday the 13th we have put together a program of classical music’s most hair-raising, spine-tingling masterpieces.
The Sydney Town Hall Organ roars to terrifying life in Bach’s Toccata and Fugue – dark, dramatic and instantly recognisable. And Dukas’ Sorcerer’s Apprentice is musical mischief in motion, tiptoeing winds, glinting glockenspiel and sudden brass jolts.
And in an iconic moment from cinema, Bernard Herrmann shows it only takes a few notes to terrify you in Psycho.
Conducted by James Judd, praised by The Independent for his ‘inspired, passionate music-making’, this program delivers a spine-tingling set of short works with wicked twists.
