Updated: Jul 15, 2025

Shostakovich Ten, Queensland Symphony Orchestra

Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No.3 is a flurry of virtuosity, under the command of Alexander Gavrylyuk, with dizzying, surreal melodies portraying a sense of sarcastic delight in a work that’s sometimes mischievous, sometimes tender, but always electrifying. 

Shostakovich’s harrowing Symphony No.10 is a tour-de-force of orchestral power, which claws its way from despair to hopeful triumph.

Taking it to the next level, the performance will be accompanied by an on-screen showing of South African artist, William Kentridge’s film Oh To Believe In Another World.
