Welcome 

Queensland Symphony Orchestra 2012 

Dear Friends, 

Welcome to the 2012 season. This is an exciting time to be with the Queensland Symphony 

orchestra whether you are coming along to listen, to play or to conduct. 

There is movement at the studio: from Ferry Road, which was the orchestra’s home for 

decades, we move into a magnificent new studio at South Bank, into the core of the cultural 

centre of Brisbane. With open rehearsals, education concerts and new series we will throw open 

our new doors to young and old. 

There is movement in the orchestra: during the past five years the orchestra has acquired 

twenty inspiring new members. This movement brings about new energy, new ideas, and new 

relationships. For me it has been an absolute pleasure to work with this superb orchestra. 

The musicians of the Queensland Symphony orchestra share my enthusiasm for great music, 

enthusiasm that inspires dedication, that produces scintillating live performances. 

Come and experience the 2012 season.

A message for Queensland Symphony Orchestra 2012 

Penelope Wensley AC 

Governor of Queensland 

Patron of the Queensland 

Symphony Orchestra 

as Patron of the Queensland Symphony 

orchestra, I am delighted to welcome a new 

season of performances, designed, with flair 

and imagination, to impress and please all who 

have the opportunity to attend them. 

In 2012 the Queensland Symphony orchestra 

will present, from its new base at South Bank, 

a season that offers lovers of classical music 

both great variety and great enjoyment. Under 

the sensitive direction of Maestro Johannes 

Fritzsch and a number of distinguished guest 

conductors, the orchestra will showcase 

once again the highest standards of technical 

excellence and musicianship, across a rich 

program that traverses centuries of music and 

a panoply of musical styles and genres. 

The program includes well known works - "old 

friends" that we look forward to meeting again 

and hearing with fresh ears - and others less 

well known, less often performed, whose 

acquaintance we may be keen to make. There 

will be wonderful collaborations, concerts 

built around intriguing themes, a series of 

concerts in regional Queensland, and music for 

children of all ages. above all, the program is 

a celebration of marvellous music and of our 

good fortune in having an orchestra of such 

distinction that Queensland and Queenslanders 

can claim proudly as our own. I look forward to 

sharing this celebration and the pleasures of the 

2012 Season with you all. 

Rachel Nolan mP 

minister for Finance, Natural 

Resources and The Arts

This season also marks another significant 

milestone for the orchestra as it makes its 

long-anticipated move into its new home 

in the heart of the arts and cultural precinct

With exciting international collaborations, 

comprehensive regional tours and a dynamic 

subscription season, the Queensland Symphony 

orchestra’s 2012 Season will be a vibrant and 

energetic experience for all music lovers.

talented orchestra musicians on bringing worldclass 

music to Queensland and thank them for

only a Russian conductor like Valery Polyansky can invest Borodin's music with the 

uniquely Slavic sense of yearning; nowhere is this more heartfelt that in his Second 

Symphony. Let Maestro Polyansky and QSo envelope you in its gorgeously sinuous 

melodies. In total contrast, Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto no.1 is a walk on the wild side 

and reveals the composer at his most subversively and mischievously satirical. at the 

premiere of his Festival Overture, composed to commemorate the 37th anniversary of 

the october Revolution, the audience was ordered to applaud. Modern audiences need

with Haydn and Mozart. The ninth is a

Leonard Bernstein’s Candide overture is the 

musical equivalent of opening a bottle of

Concerto in F radiates all the confidence 

and brashness of 1920s new York, with art

Piers Lane, who regularly inspires the critics, 

performs this concerto, a spectacularly 

successful marriage of jazz-inspired idiom 

and classical form. However much Dvoràk 

may have been captivated by the big sky 

and wide open prairies of the US when he 

wrote his New World Symphony, the lilt and 

freshness of this most beloved symphony 

tell us that his heart and soul remained in his 

native Bohemia.

The intimacy and restrained passion of 

Wagner’s Wesendonck Lieder capture the 

intensity of forbidden love, anticipating

triumphantly Chopinesque and a tribute 

to the unique emotions the composer 

poured into it, epecially in the slow 

movement, which is really an exquisite 

nocturne. Beethoven’s ever fresh Pastoral 

Symphony shows how a genius like 

Beethoven could even improve on the 

perfection of nature in this favourite work. 


Like so many of Haydn’s named 

symphonies, no one quite knows how the 

Symphony no.88 came to be nicknamed 

The Letter V. none of this matters when 

you hear the blend of wit, charm and 

inventiveness of this wonderful score. 

elgar’s Enigma Variations, another

Kaitlyn Lusk 

Composer Howard Shore brings J.R.R. 

Tolkien’s literary imagination to vivid 

life with his academy®- and Grammy® 

award-winning score to The Lord of the 

Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. Shore’s 

music expresses Peter Jackson’s film as 

an immense symphonic work—a uniquely 

developed vision drawn from centuries of 

stylistic tendencies. 

The music of The Lord of the Rings is 

counted among film music’s most complex 

and comprehensive works. This unique 

performance sets the score to the film, 

but allows the music to bear the narrative 

weight, creating a wholly new and dramatic 

live concert experience. 

Shore’s score not only captures Fellowship’s 

sweeping emotion, thrilling vistas and 

grand journeys, but also echoes the very 

construction of Tolkien’s Middle-earth. 

Styles, instruments and performers 

collected from around the world provide 

each of Tolkien’s cultures with a unique 

musical imprint. In operatic fashion, these 

musical worlds co-mingle, sometimes 

combining forces for a culminated power, 

other times violently clashing…and always 

bending to the will of the one Ring and its 

own ominous family of themes. 

"My first score for 

The Lord of the Rings 

trilogy, The Fellowship 

of the Ring, was 

the beginning of 

my journey into the 

world of Tolkien and 

I will always hold a 

special fondness for 

the music and the 

experience."

Sundays 

The newspapers been read and the lazy 

Sunday breakfast eaten… now what? 

You’ve devoured the Sunday papers, the perfect scrambled eggs and the coffee, 

now, Music on Sundays presents a mouth-watering smorgasbord of musical 

morsels designed to set the seal on a perfect weekend. Wittily compered by 

the gregarious Guy noble, Music on Sundays is a gorgeous morning concert of 

shorter popular repertoire, usually based on an entertaining theme enhanced by 

attractive family and group prices. Music on Sundays is also a wonderful way for 

less experienced music lovers and children to dip their toes in and test the waters!

Is there any country in the world whose 

music sets the pulse racing and heals 

tapping more than Spain? The glare of the 

Iberian sun, the plaintive wail of the gypsy, 

the click of the heels in flamenco dances, 

the roar of the bullfight crowd…Maestro 

Fritzsch, the QSo and Guy will transport 

you with magical music, including excerpts 

from Carmen and culminating in Ravel’s 

Boléro. Can you resist its powerful spell? 

Why not follow with a glass of sangria and 

tapas… what’s Spanish for heaven?

What is this thing called love? Whatever 

it is, it certainly makes the world, and 

music, go round. Love and romance 

have been the most powerful source of 

inspiration to composers of all ages: the 

euphoric love of Romeo and Juliet… even 

Beethoven (forever unlucky in love) who 

entrusted his love song to a solo violin.

Few other composers in australia or 

anywhere else can boast that their music 

has been heard as part of the opening 

ceremony of the Sydney olympics, as the 

occasional theme to Philip adams cerebral 

late night talk fest on Radio national 

and in a Lloyds’ Bank commercial. elena 

Kats-Chernin is not only one of australia’s 

most eclectic composers – her output 

ranges from opera to miniatures and often 

showcases her off-beat take – but also 

one of the most prolific. She frequently 

has up to six compositions on the go 

simultaneously. Following the great success 

of her Composer-in-Residency last year, 

we are delighted to welcome her back in 

2012. amy Dickson recently released a 

new recording, in which she re-defines 

the saxophone as a classical instrument 

through her choice of indisputably beautiful 

and innovative repertoire, including Glass's 

Violin Concerto no.1. 

Jack Liebeck stars in the Lindberg Violin Concerto 

Magnus Lindberg, sometimes dubbed the 

bad boy of contemporary music, composed 

his Violin Concerto in 2006 and it has made 

rapid inroads into the repertoire of several 

leading violinists. Miraculously, Lindberg 

creates shimmering sonorities with the 

Mozart-sized orchestra and a rhapsodic 

solo role for the violinist. Kats-Chernin's 

two pieces are beautiful explorations of her 

quirky talent.

a program no romantic should miss! 

Shakespeare’s play takes almost three 

hours but in twenty minutes Tchaikovsky 

distilled the drama and emotion in his 

Romeo & Juliet Fantasy overture as no 

other composer ever could. Tchaikovsky’s 

Polish Symphony was named for the 

spectacular polonaise in the finale, but 

this five-movement work is brimming 

with other wonderful melodies and great 

musical ideas from first note to last and 

everyone who hears it for the first time 

will want to hear it more often. Tatiana 

Polyanskaya spices this Russian spectacular 

with arensky’s colourful Fanstasia on 

Themes by Ryabinin.
