COLOURS OF THE SOUL

Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.
– Berthold Auerbach

Sunday 12 December, 3pm
Verbrugghen Hall, Sydney Conservatorium of Music

Conductor: Max McBride
Soloists: Kirsty Hilton and SYO Concertmaster, violins

MOZART Symphony No.31, K.297 in D Major (Paris Symphony)
PÄRT Tabula Rasa (1977)
SCHUMANN Genoveva Overture (1847)
RESPIGHI Pines of Rome

A night to hear the SYO musicians perform music which will move, inspire and transport you. The concert bursts into life with the joyfulness of Mozart's Paris Symphony, the epitome of elegance and warmth. Then enter a new world with Arvo Pärt’s mesmeric Tabula Rasa, performed by SYO alumnus, Sydney Symphony principal second violin Kirsty Hilton together with the SYO concertmaster.

After the interval, a wonderful experience awaits: Schumann's exultant Genoveva overture prepares the way for the magnificent pageantry of Respighi's Pines of Rome, a tour-de-force for orchestra and a brilliant celebration of the year's achievement.


“I think I should have no other mortal wants, if I could always have plenty of music. It seems to infuse strength into my limbs and ideas into my brain. Life seems to go on without effort, when I am filled with music.”
GEORGE ELIOT
