Queensland Symphony Orchestra Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici returns to lead the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra in a program of orchestral favourites with an epic finale featuring the majestic grand organ of Melbourne Town Hall, played by Calvin Bowman.

Debussy's famous Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune (Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun) is a symphonic poem that some consider to be a turning point in music history, as classical music entered the modern age.

Ravel's Mother Goose is an idyllic evocation of childhood. Inspired by the fairy tale creators of the French Baroque, the suite achieves its powerful emotional effect through the simple radiance of its poetic vision.

Saint-Saëns' thundering Organ Symphony is a stunning display of the visceral power of this colossal instrument. This symphony is probably best remembered in pop culture as the music to which Farmer Hoggett dances as he nurses his pig, Babe, back to health.

Go see Saint-Saens' Organ Symphony 2023.
