With entertaining and informative hosts, QSO’s Music on Sundays concerts are the perfect pre-lunch activity in the heart of South Bank, in a convenient 90-minute timeslot

Be transported to the streets of France in this charming program, led by guest conductor Samy Rachid. 

Australian cellist Charlotte Miles joins as soloist in Tchaikovsky’s refined and nostalgic Rococo Variations, a deftly written tribute to Mozartian elegance which exhibits the full expressive and virtuosic range of the cello. 

A sense of the mystical and spooky is apparent in Franck’s tale of a huntsman cursed to eternal pursuit by demons, in Saint-Saëns’ depiction of skeletons dancing on their graves in Danse macabre, and in Gounod’s story of a marionette losing its life in a duel. 

Lili Boulanger’s sweet and playful D’un matin de printemps brings a lighter mood, and the program is completed with a grandiose and powerful fanfare from Dukas.
