About this event
Child Policy: This performance is not suitable for children under six years old. Children aged 16 and under must be accompanied by a caregiver who attends the event with the child. Conductor --- Giordano Bellincampi Piano --- Christian Ihle Hadland Nielsen --- Helios Overture Grieg --- Piano Concerto R. Strauss --- Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme: Suite Appearing in Australasia for the first time, Norwegian pianist Christian Ihle Hadland plays the evergreen concerto by his compatriot Grieg. Strauss's witty music to Molière's comedy is one of those pieces which orchestral musicians love. It's challenging, it's rarely played, and it's utterly charming. Audiences, meanwhile, find themselves falling in love with it too and wondering why it isn't heard more often. We begin with a hymn to the sun, which Nielsen composed while gazing at the warm Aegean Sea.
