About this event
We’re joined by the TSO Chorus, star vocal soloists and a familiar face on the podium for this concert that begins and ends with Beethoven. Leonore Overture No 3, written for the 1806 version of Beethoven’s one and only opera, Fidelio, features an off-stage trumpet and furious strings. Beethoven’s Mass in C is a choral work of profound spirituality, solemnity and humanity. In the middle is Shostakovich’s arrangement of Mussorgsky’s intensely dramatic Songs and Dances of Death, with Tasmanian-based mezzo soprano Katharine Tier as soloist.
