Edo de Waart returns to Sydney Symphony Orchestra, where he was previously Music Director, for three performances on 9 and 10 September. The programme includes Andrew Howes’ Luminifera – Wild Light for Orchestra, which was commissioned by the orchestra, as well as Brahms’ Variations on a Theme by Joseph Haydn and Rachmaninov’s Symphonic Dances. Pianist Yeol Eum Son also joins the orchestra to perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20.

This will be the maestro’s first return to the orchestra since the renovations of their concert hall at the Sydney Opera House, which reopened this July with a gala concert featuring Sydney Symphony Orchestra.
