Three's a charm.
Featuring TSO Concertmaster Emma McGrath on violin, TSO Principal Cello Jonathan Békés and pianist Konstantin Shamray and Otto Tausk conducts.
A trifecta of talented soloists perform Beethoven’s masterwork the Triple Concerto, bookended by two Mozart treasures.
A trio of outstanding musicians – Emma McGrath, Jonathan Békés and Konstantin Shamray – bring verve and vitality to Beethoven’s one and only concerto for three solo instruments. Composed during one of Beethoven’s most energetic periods, the Triple Concerto is a singular masterwork, a tribute to the composer’s imagination and flair.
The concert opens with Mozart’s little-known Symphony No 1 – composed when Wolfgang Amadeus was aged only eight or nine – and closes with his mighty ‘Jupiter’ symphony, the crowning achievement of his career as a symphonist. The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra welcomes back charismatic maestro Otto Tausk for this feast of classical treasures.
