Piano Power

Friday, September 9 – Saturday, September 10, 2022 There are few combinations of sound-worlds so thrilling as piano and orchestra, and never more so when the composer is Rachmaninov.The ‘Rach 2’ as it’s affectionately known, is an absolute finger-buster, and yet still manages to tug at your heartstrings. You’ll be swept away by the melodies one moment, and in the next your jaw will drop at the technical skill required to pull it off. This special concerto event will feature internationally-acclaimed pianist Behzod Abduraimov, from Uzbekistan.This concert also features the rich and beautiful Brahms Symphony No.3 conducted by Asher Fisch — an epic symphony from the classical canon, staged at the grand Concert Hall.Skipworth Hinterland (Queensland Premiere) — Saturday onlyRachmaninov Piano Concerto No.2 in C minorBrahms Symphony No.3 in FVenue: Concert Hall Venue: Queensland Performing Arts Centre (QPAC), South Brisbane Venue address: Queensland Performing Arts Centre, Cnr Melbourne and Grey Street, South Brisbane Parent event: Brisbane Festival Event type: Festivals, Music Cost: $80 - $125 plus booking fee Age: Suitable for all ages Bookings: Bookings required via Brisbane Festival website.  Bookings required: Yes
