Event Details

Russian pianist Konstantin Shamray is teaming up with Nicholas Carter for one of the most flashily brilliant concertos in the repertoire. Prokofiev’s quirky and uplifting Third Piano Concerto is music to be listened to from the edge of your seat.

Listening to this music is like water skiing. It’s exhilarating. You’ll be carried away, very quickly. And you might get wet. That’s what happens to The Sorcerer’s Apprentice (as immortalised in Disney’s Fantasia), who meddles in magic beyond his power to control. The bassoons’ cheeky broomstick theme creates an orchestral tidal wave.

Then chase the flitting dance rhythms of Ross Edwards’s ethereal White Ghost Dancing, before losing yourself in the bustling, crowded fairground of Petrushka, where Stravinsky’s vivid music brings side shows, buskers, magicians and puppets to life.

Featured non-Australian music: Prokofiev, Dukas, Stravinsky
