This concert dives into the most iconic and hair-raising orchestral works ever written.
Feel the swirling dread of Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and recoil from the stabbing strings of Psycho. The tension is palpable in Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet and John Williams’ Jaws, and it explodes in the ghoulish frenzy of Berlioz’s Dream of a Witches’ Sabbath.
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.
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.
Dare to join us, and let the music take over.
