OVERVIEW
Welcome to the 2010 Utzon Music Series. This year we present an outstanding roster of some of the world’s great artists, in the beautiful surrounds of the Utzon Room, designed by Jorn Utzon especially for chamber music.
We are thrilled to start the year with Italian viola da gamba master Paolo Pandolfo revealing the beauty of this exquisite instrument; Roger Woodward celebrates the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth in two recitals, Thomas Adès, one of the brightest stars in the classical music world performs a solo piano recital for us, and the Brodsky Quartet presents a gripping program in their unique style. You’ll hear music by Ravel, Debussy, Stravinsky and Chopin – and some of the hottest new works from around the globe.
Join me again in 2010 for a series that Sydney has taken to its heart – the greatest music performed by some great performers in the iconic Sydney Opera House.
