The Baroque Harp
French harpist Xavier de Maistre ‘is a virtuoso of the highest order, profoundly musical and capable of realising a remarkable range of nuance,’ (Gramophone) and this radiant program of Baroque and Classical music lets the instrument enchant you from the first note.
Our new Spotlight series offers unique musical experiences at City Recital Hall, with a smaller orchestra allowing delicacy and intimacy to come to the fore. Handel’s celebrated Harp Concerto is incandescent, with flowing harp lines and elegant orchestral texture. Boieldieu’s is a true showpiece that gives the harp a sparkling, elegant voice full of colour and virtuosity.
De Maistre’s genius brings every phrase to life with remarkable delicacy and expression, qualities matched by the Orchestra in Elgar’s Serenade for Strings and Grieg’s Holberg Suite.
Sunny, graceful and full of joy, this is a concert that showcases one of classical music’s most magical instruments.
This performance is currently available as part of a Sydney Symphony Orchestra 2027 Season Subscription.
