Morning Masterworks 4: La Mer

Morning Masterworks 4: La Mer  image

Start your Friday with a touch of classical brilliance with this Morning Masterworks concert.

From gentle tides to stormy swells, this concert captures the ever-shifting moods of the sea. 

Opening with a delightful Debussy favourite, Petite Suite, Australian pianist Stefan Cassomenos then brings warmth and wit in Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No.2, a personal gift to his son that shows his more playful side. 

Australian composer Paul Stanhope offers a contemporary response to the sea with Ocean Planet, a powerful reflection on the beauty and fragility of our oceans. 

At the heart of this concert is Debussy’s La Mer, a vivid portrait of water in motion inspired by Monet’s seascapes and The Great Wave off Kanagawa

Let the tides of music wash over you in this stunning concert.
