Our co-artistic director, Rachael Beesley, spoke to The Sydney Morning Herald about the enduring power of Beethoven.
“The magical energy conjured up on stage when performing a Beethoven symphony creates the feeling that the music is being composed right in the moment, as we are playing it,” Rachael Beesley says.
“This sensation is especially heightened when leading and directing an orchestra from the violin through this fervent cycle of works. Beethoven masterfully whirls you through the vivid mood changes and shifts of tempi which underline the intensely emotional nature of his works.”
