Maestro 7: Symphonic Dances

A celebration of music that moves the body and soul.
Season 2026 Subscriptions are on sale now. Individual concerts will go on sale to the general public on Monday, 17 November 2025 at 9am.
From folk steps to final farewells, this concert is built around the joy of dance. At its heart is Rachmaninov’s final major work Symphonic Dances. Written in exile, it is filled with sweeping emotion, nostalgia, and the echoes of a life in motion. Led by Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici, it’s a powerful blend of elegance and vitality complete with an unforgettable saxophone solo.
The evening begins with Dvořák’s Slavonic Dances, bursting with Bohemian spirit and irresistible folk rhythms. Then comes soloist James Crabb for the Queensland premiere of Holly Harrison’s Concerto for Classical Accordion and Orchestra, a bold, high-voltage work that dances to its own beat.
