Conductor Shiyeon Sung
Piano Alexander Gavrylyuk

Kenneth Young Douce Tristesse
Prokofiev Piano Concerto No.3
Tchaikovsky Symphony No.5

Est. running time one hour and 40 minutes including a 20-minute interval

Raw emotion was always close to the surface for Tchaikovsky, but rarely more so than in his Fifth Symphony. With a melting love song and a gentle waltz, subsumed by the hand of fate, this expansive piece needs an insightful conductor, and Shiyeon Sung is ideal.

The sensational pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk returns for Prokofiev’s spiky, glittering, hugely entertaining concerto. New Zealand composer Kenneth Young’s wistful, pastoral piece, inspired by happy memories of a summer holiday, opens the concert.
