Silver & Symphonic - Malvern

Under the baton of conductor Timothy Phillips, the orchestra is joined by acclaimed flautist Eliza Shephard for an afternoon of power, elegance, and electrifying artistry.

Discover the remarkable Emilie Mayer in the Australian premiere of her Symphony No. 2. Once compared to Beethoven, Mayer’s music invites a fascinating question: how does her symphonic voice stand alongside Beethoven’s iconic Symphony No. 5? We’ll let you decide.

At the centre of the programme is acclaimed flautist Eliza Shephard, celebrated as the ABC Young Performer of the Year 2022, performing Carl Nielsen’s vibrant Flute Concerto. With its wit, colour and lyrical brilliance, Nielsen’s concerto provides the perfect showcase for Eliza’s extraordinary musicianship.

Silver & Symphonic is a concert of discovery, virtuosity and great symphonic drama.
