Concert Group<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This past week, Shore concert group was privileged to watch the Sydney Symphony Orchestra play alongside concert pianist V\u00edkingur \u00d3lafsson performing Ravel\u2019s Piano Concerto in G major.<\/em> The concert gave us key insights into performance and allowed us to immerse ourselves within music that we are currently studying. The work is full of Jazz influences and yet it is typical to that of Ravel. Sweeping glissandos and strong fanfares, melancholic melodies and rich tones are all staples of this concerto. Olafsson played with technical brilliance and composure. His tone was unparalleled throughout the second movement, adagio assai,<\/em> and it is always enlightening to watch world class musicians perform. For his encore, Olafsson played Bach as a homage to his previous performances of the Goldberg variations, where he sold out the Opera House Concert Hall. This was one of the performances of the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to the Ravel Piano Concerto<\/em>, the SSO played Beethoven\u2019s Third Symphony<\/em>. The symphony is unlike traditional Beethoven. It was a hugely ambitious work that refused to stay within boundaries, stunning in its epic scope and emotional impact. Under the masterful leadership of guest conductor Donald Runnicles, the performance was nothing short of captivating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Shore concert group is now looking forward to more performances in the coming months!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
