One of Sibelius’ most-loved works, his Second Symphony builds exquisitely over four distinct movements.
From the opening notes that seem to suggest a forest springing to life, to the triumphant finale, Runnicles ensures the expressive power of this work lands perfectly in a concert of windswept visions of the natural world.
Making her Sydney Symphony debut, two-time Grammy Award-winning mezzo-soprano Sasha Cooke soars in Elgar’s poetic Sea Pictures, while Wagner’s Flying Dutchman Overture casts you into the vivid drama of a storm at sea.
