Matinee Symphony Series: Ruthless Romance

Passion and power.

The dark ambition and ruthless fury of Shakespeare’s iconic tyrant is brought thrillingly to life in Strauss’ early tone poem, Macbeth, performed by WASO for the very first time. Asher Fisch then leads the Orchestra in Schumann’s Symphony No.4, a work of passionate urgency and grand emotions.

Inspired by his travels through the country, Mendelssohn’s Fourth Symphony captures the vibrant spirit and colours of Italy, transporting you to sparkling coastlines and bustling piazzas.
