GIPPS
Death on the Pale Horse (Australian Premiere)

BERG
Violin Concerto

MAHLER
Symphony No.1 Titan

Mahler’s First Symphony Titan is a thrilling showcase for the massive orchestra it commands. The music emerges from hushed strings and woodwind cuckoo calls, unfolding into an eerie realisation of a nursery rhyme and a blazing finale. In Berg’s Violin Concerto, each note ascends from one instrument, only to take hold of the next. Our season finale begins with the Australian Premiere of Ruth Gipps’ powerful wartime piece Death on the Pale Horse.
