SUMMARY:Symphony Central Coast | Classical Elegance
DESCRIPTION:The first concert of the year from Symphony Central Coast. Memorable melodies\, balanced form\, charming character. Classical music has been loved for nearly 300 years for its clarity\, harmony and structural integrity. For timeless masterpieces that remain cherished treasures in the world of music. \nOur foray into the treasure chest begins with Handel’s sinfonia from the oratorio Solomon\, The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba. Grand\, dramatic and energetic\, it’s the perfect opener\, followed by excerpts from his Water Music suite\, written for King George I’s concert on the River Thames. Immediately following the Dance of the Furies in Gluck’s opera Orpheus and Euridice\, Dance of the Blessed Spirits conjures up pastoral tranquility as Orpheus seeks to find his stolen wife and in Glinka’s opera A Life for the Tsar\, political victory is celebrated with a Waltzduring a sumptuous celebration. \nExemplifying the classical spirit\, Mozart’s Symphony no. 41 is often regarded as the greatest symphony in classical music. Nicknamed the Jupiter\, it has been described as “overpoweringly great\, fiery\, artistic\, sublime.” \nAnd to wrap up the concert\, two stories: Prokofiev’s beloved Peter and the Wolf and the world premiere of a charming and sincere series of poems by Sydney author Lester Morris If People Had Tails. Read by Lester himself\, and with music by Symphony Central Coast’s Artistic Director and Conductor Steven Stanke\, these poems will delight! \n2:30pm | 16 February 2025 | Brentwood Village\, 1 Scaysbrook Drive\, Kincumber \n\n\nBuy tickets now
