Where grace meets grandeur in perfect balance.

Beethoven’s sole Violin Concerto marries nobility with disarming simplicity: long, singing lines that seem to float above time, flashes of playful wit, and passages of hushed intimacy. Satu Vänskä, Principal Violin of the Australian Chamber Orchestra, brings its poetry to life with limitless grace. Led by Guest Conductor Giordano Bellincampi, the orchestra crafts a luminous backdrop, rich in nuance and delicacy.

Opening the evening, New Zealander Salina Fisher’s Murmuring Light casts a delicate spell – one of iridescent colour that prepares the ear for Beethoven’s radiance. After the interval comes the stunning Mendelssohn Symphony No.3, inspired by his visit to Scotland in 1829.

Take a seat, open your ears, and let the light in.
