2Tuesday 5 October, 2021 – Sydney, AUSTRALIA
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra today announces its 2022 Season – a highly anticipated season which will mark
the start of Simone Young’s tenure as Chief Conductor of the Sydney Symphony. Simone Young is the most celebrated
Australian working in the classical music world today and she is the first Australian to be appointed to the role in
three decades.
As Chief Conductor Simone Young will oversee the Orchestra’s return to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall after
an absence of more than two years. The Concert Hall closed in 2020 for a major program of acoustic renewal for the
Hall as well as upgrades and improvements to the Hall’s public spaces as part of a Renewal Project funded and carried
out by the State Government of NSW.
Since her debut with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 1996, Simone Young and the Sydney Symphony have
worked together on many occasions. The Sydney-born Young has long cited her association with the Orchestra
as being a major influence on a career that has seen her become one of Europe’s most sought after conductors.
A regular at Europe’s major opera houses and music festivals, her frequent critical successes have also resulted in
appearances beyond Europe, with major US orchestra engagements including the New York Philharmonic, Los Angeles
Philharmonic, and the San Francisco Symphony. Her titled roles before being announced as the Sydney Symphony’s
Chief Conductor included Artistic Director of the Hamburg State Opera and Chief Music Director of the Hamburg
Philharmonic (2005-2015) and Principal Guest Conductor of the Orchestre de Chambre de Lausanne (2017-2020).
Her appointment to the Sydney Symphony is the third time an Australian has been appointed to the role in the
Orchestra’s 90-year history. She also becomes the first woman to occupy the role.
Commenting on her new role with the Sydney Symphony, Simone Young said: “I am thrilled to be taking up this role
with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra. My first season as Chief Conductor will coincide with the reopening of the
Sydney Opera House Concert Hall which has been the Orchestra’s home since the opening of the Sydney Opera House
in 1973. It is a remarkable time for classical music in Australia. The acoustic renewal of the Concert Hall is a wonderful
and appropriate gift and will ensure that the Orchestra reaches even greater heights of performance.”
The Orchestra’s 2022 season will be presented in two parts. The Autumn program (March-June) will see five weeks
of performances at Sydney Town Hall (where the Orchestra has been performing since 2020), before returning to its
home at the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in July for the remainder of the 2022 season.
The reopening of the Concert Hall represents a turning point for audiences as the acoustics of the Hall have been
significantly redesigned. The Hall’s new sound will provide the Orchestra access to even greater dynamic range and an
increased clarity of sound. Audiences will have a more precise and exciting musical experience no matter where they
are seated in the Hall.
To celebrate the reopening, Simone Young and the Orchestra have created programs which provide an opportunity
for a diverse range of Australian artists. Many of the programs reflect Simone Young and the Sydney Symphony’s
desire to reintroduce Australian performers who have made significant careers overseas as well as collaborate with
Australian composers, writers, and other companies that lead in their respective artforms.
Throughout the 2022 season audiences will once again be able to hear major international talent as well as the
world-premieres of new works landmark events in a spirited and exciting year of music.
Sydney Symphony CEO Emma Dunch said: “This season represents the culmination of years of planning. Audiences
will be able to experience the Sydney Symphony in a huge range of performances. Our commitment is to continue
to engage the NSW community and provide wonderfully exhilarating experiences of music. The Orchestra’s
performances will continue to be affordable for the wider community and through digital initiatives, Australians will
hear their finest Orchestra no matter where they live.
“Simone Young is not only committed to the highest standards of artistic achievement, but also to performances that
reach out and creative innovation that engages artists and audiences from diverse backgrounds.
“The Sydney Symphony has always been an Orchestra that not only serves the people of NSW but promotes
Australian artistry to the world. Next year takes that promise to a new level.”
Further details on the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s 2022 Season can be found below.

3Simone Young joins the Sydney Symphony for inaugural
season as Chief Conductor
In 2022, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra returns to the Sydney Opera House Concert Hall – its home since
opening the venue in 1973 – with Australian-born Simone Young AM in her debut season as Chief Conductor.
Following an extensive career which has seen her acclaimed as one of the world’s finest conductors and one of the
most renowned Australians in the world of classical music, Young returns to Australia to lead the nation’s premier
Orchestra into an exciting new era.
Renowned for her unparalleled interpretations of orchestral music and opera, Young has worked closely with
the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to shape her inaugural season as its Chief Conductor, with a commitment to
performance excellence and programs which spark curiosity and are relevant. Across nine programs throughout
the year, the world-renowned conductor will introduce Australian audiences to artists with whom she has worked
with over her more than 35-year career and lead bold new readings of major works.
In addition to six major performances celebrating the return of the Sydney Symphony to the renewed Concert
Hall starting July 2022, Young will also conduct three performances towards the end of the season, including
a collaboration with Canadian violinist James Ehnes (9-12 November), a special audience-curated program for
Simone Young Presents – People’s Choice Concert (17-19 November), and a new interpretation of Beethoven’s
only opera, Fidelio, as an opera in concert featuring newly commissioned text by leading First Nations scholar
Tyson Yunkaporta (24-26 November).
Winner of the Australian of the Year in 1986, Simone Young’s collaboration with the Sydney Symphony began
with her conducting debut with the Orchestra in 1996. Her extensive international career has seen her frequently
sought as guest conductor and she has held several roles with major European institutions. From 2005 to 2015,
she was General Manager and Artistic Director of the Hamburg State Opera and Music Director of the Hamburg
Philharmonic State Orchestra. Among several other prestigious titles, she has also held the coveted role of Principal
Guest Conductor of the Lausanne Chamber Orchestra, Switzerland.
As a guest conductor she has performed with the world’s major opera companies and orchestras, including the
Wiener Staatsoper, Berlin’s Staatsoper Unter den Linden, Bavarian State Opera, Munich, Zurich Opera and orchestras
including the Vienna Philharmonic, Berlin Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic, Chicago Symphony Orchestra,
San Francisco Symphony and Los Angeles Philharmonic.
Recognised by awards many times over her career, Simone Young was most recently named Advance Awards’
Global Icon for 2021. The organisation – which promotes Australians whose work in science, technology, business,
and the arts have elevated Australia’s contribution and prominence in these areas of innovation – awarded Young
the accolade for her tremendous contribution to arts and culture and her work towards securing Australia’s status
as a cultural leader over her career.
The 2022 season marks the first season in her three-year tenure (2022-2024) as Chief Conductor with the Sydney
Symphony. She will be the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s thirteenth Chief Conductor, the first woman to lead the
Orchestra and the third Australian-born conductor to hold the position1.

4Principal Guest Conductor Sir Donald Runnicles returns
to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for the 2022 Season
Principal Guest Conductor Sir Donald Runnicles obe returns to the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for two programs
in September 2022. The two programs feature artists making their soloist debut with the Orchestra.
An unparalleled musical interpreter, the Scottish conductor is currently the General Music Director of the Deutsche
Oper Berlin – the largest musical organisation in Berlin – and Music Director of the Grand Teton Music Festival
(Jackson, Wyoming), as well as the Principal Guest Conductor of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. He is also
Conductor Emeritus of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra. An award-winning artist, Runnicles recently led
a recording with the Deutsche Oper Berlin of Zemlinsky’s Der Zwerg which was nominated for a Grammy in the
2020 Grammy Awards.
Appointed Principal Guest Conductor of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in 2019, Runnicles joins the Orchestra
once more after two years interrupted by the pandemic. Celebrated for his expertise in post-Romantic repertoire,
the world-renowned conductor will lead the Sydney Symphony Orchestra for its performance of Claude Debussy’s
La mer (Towards Serenity – Debussy, Copland, and Vaughan Williams, 15-17 September). The program will
also feature UK clarinettist James Burke in his soloist debut with the Sydney Symphony for Aaron Copland’s
Clarinet Concerto. Originally written for jazz great Benny Goodman, the clarinet concerto draws inspiration from
the American landscape and the Latin American and jazz rhythms which were influential in Aaron Copland’s time.
Donald Runnicles and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will share the stage in September 2022 with Grammy-award
winning violinist Augustin Hadelich, performing Brahms’ grand Violin Concerto (Rising Romance – Augustin Hadelich
performs Brahms, 21-24 September). Appearing for the first time with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, audiences
will experience Hadelich’s phenomenal technique and the artistry which has seen him in high demand across North
America, Europe, and Asia.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra presents 2022
as two chapters: Autumn 22 and Winter/Spring 22
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra welcomes audiences back to live performances with its Autumn Season,
which opens on 30 March, 2022.
Presented at the Sydney Town Hall with its magnificent acoustics, the Sydney Symphony’s Autumn season will
consist of five special performances featuring musicians from the Orchestra as soloists, showcasing the technical
virtuosity for which they are renowned. The Orchestra will also welcome international artists including Peruvian
conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya and Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski (4-7 May 2022).
The Autumn Season, with timeless works including Tchaikovsky’s Fourth Symphony, Schubert’s Great Symphony,
and Brahms and Rachmaninov’s piano concertos, will be an opportunity for audiences to experience the Sydney
Symphony Orchestra in its historic home.
These concerts mark the last in the Orchestra’s temporary re-engagement with the celebrated acoustics and
architecture of the Sydney Town Hall, where the Sydney Symphony gave its first public performances in the 1940s.
The Orchestra returned to the Sydney Town Hall for its 2020 and 2021 seasons to accommodate the closing of the
Sydney Opera House Concert Hall for acoustic upgrades.
Following the Autumn season, the Orchestra will, for its Winter/Spring season, return to the Sydney Opera House,
a building originally instigated by the Orchestra’s first Chief Conductor Eugene Goossens and where the Orchestra
has been primary resident company since the building’s opening in 1973.

5The Sydney Symphony Orchestra returns to a renewed
Sydney Opera House Concert Hall in July 2022
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will make its much-anticipated return to a renewed Sydney Opera House Concert
Hall for its Winter/Spring Season in July 2022. Led by Chief Conductor Simone Young, the Sydney Symphony will
mark the occasion with six weeks of major programs.
The acoustic enhancements to the Concert Hall have been a long-standing priority for the Sydney Symphony.
The suite of acoustic upgrades will enrich the dynamic range and responsiveness of the Concert Hall for acoustic
(unamplified) instruments, offering audiences in all sections of the auditorium a clearer and more tonally rich
sound. Sydney Symphony musicians will also enjoy improved on-stage musical communication between different
sectionsof the Orchestra. A new, lower stage with automated stage risers will also improve sightlines and create
more intimacy between performers.
The upgrade also includes a new passageway offering level access between the Southern and Northern Foyers,
as well as a new passenger lift making it possible for people with limited mobility and with a wheelchair to
independently access to each level of the Concert Hall Northern Foyers.
Additional accessible seating will also be available, offering music-lovers more flexibility to enjoy the experience
of the Sydney Symphony’s live performances.
Funded by the NSW Government, this multi-million-dollar project will result in better acoustics and sound for
artists and audiences, more ambitious performances and improved access for people with mobility needs.

6Major performances to open the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra’s twin Seasons
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra welcomes audiences in 2022 with celebratory openings of both its Autumn and
Winter/Spring Seasons.
Autumn Season: Special performances at Sydney Town Hall
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will return to the stage in March 2022, with five special performances for its
Autumn Season at the Sydney Town Hall. Featuring Sydney Symphony musicians performing as soloists and
international artists, audiences can continue to hear some of Australia’s finest musicians perform in the heart of
the Sydney CBD.
The first three programs of the year feature Sydney Symphony Orchestra musicians, including Principal Trumpet

(22-23 April) as soloists in works that represent the most powerful musical creations for their respective instruments.
For Power and Passion – Brahms and Tchaikovsky (4-7 May) Peruvian conductor Miguel Harth-Bedoya and
Macedonian pianist Simon Trpčeski will join the Sydney Symphony Orchestra in a performance featuring works
by Brahms and Tchaikovsky.
Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk returns to the Sydney Symphony (Inspired – Alexander Gavrylyuk
performs Rachmaninov 2, 1-4 June) alongside Australian conductor Benjamin Northey for an inspiring
performance of Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No.2, a towering masterpiece that demands the highest virtuosity.
Winter/Spring Season: Celebrating the Concert Hall of the
Sydney Opera House
The Sydney Symphony Winter/Spring Season opens on Wednesday 20 July 2022 when the Sydney Symphony
and Simone Young celebrate the return of the Orchestra to its home with a series of six landmark performances.
Celebrating the Concert Hall – Simone Young conducts Mahler 2
The Sydney Symphony’s return to the Concert Hall begins with performances on 20-24 July, featuring the
world-premiere of a composition by Kalkadunga composer William Barton. The work was commissioned for the
occasion through the Sydney Symphony’s 50 Fanfares commissioning project, which sees the Orchestra engage
with 50 of the nation’s composers as a reflection of the diversity of composing talent within Australia.
As a prolific didgeridoo performer and composer, Barton has been a regular collaborator with the Sydney Symphony.
Barton and musicians of the Orchestra performed two original works, Petrichor and Birdsong at Dusk, by the First
Nations composer as part of the Sydney Symphony On Demand digital series, provided free of charge to Australians
at a time when live performances were suspended.
The sounds of Barton’s new composition will be the first notes heard as the Orchestra celebrates the reopening of
the Concert Hall. Using timber from the Hall itself and reflecting on the history of the Sydney Opera House site,
the work will be a contemplation of times past and the role that music can play in creating a hopeful and unified
future for Australia’s people.
Mahler’s monumental Symphony No.2 will follow. Known as the Resurrection Symphony, the work is famed for its
scale and musical ambition and calls for hundreds of musicians on stage. The Sydney Symphony has not performed
the work at the Sydney Opera House in more than a decade.
Joining Simone Young will be an all-star cast of soloists, including the hugely sought-after American singer Michelle
DeYoung, who recently marked The Metropolitan Opera’s return to the Lincoln Center, New York, after the Center’s
enforced shutdown. DeYoung’s performance was hailed by The New York Times as being “inspired” and possessing
“a balanced smouldering intensity with affecting refinement.”
Principal Partner
7Australian audiences will hear the phenomenal voice of DeYoung as she performs alongside Australian soprano
Nicole Car, who makes a welcome return to the Sydney Symphony after last being heard in the Sydney Symphony’s
Opera in Concert presentation of Peter Grimes. The now Paris-based Car is one of Australia’s great classical musical
exports of recent years having performed at the Metropolitan Opera, Deutsche Oper Berlin, Paris Opera and the
Royal Opera House, Covent Garden.
Continuing a decades-long tradition of working with the Sydney Symphony, the Sydney Philharmonic Choirs participate
in these reopening concerts.
Celebrating the Concert Hall – Simone Young and Hilary Hahn
Three-time Grammy award-winning violinist Hilary Hahn will make her long-awaited return to the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra after an absence of more than a decade. Her early and prodigious talents saw her named as America’s
Young Classical Artist of the Year in 2001 (at age 20) and since then she has performed with almost every major
orchestra in the world.
A keen advocate for music education, removing barriers to access and dedicated to the healing and nurturing
power of music, Hahn most recently performed alongside musicians of the Utah Symphony in a fundraising concert
to support musicians and students at the Haitian Orchestra Institute, which has been impacted by civil unrest
and COVID-19.
Sydney audiences can experience her phenomenal technique and interpretation on 28-30 July 2020 as she performs
Prokofiev’s Violin Concerto No.1 with the Sydney Symphony under Chief Conductor Simone Young.
Poetry in Sound – Bo Skovhus in Recital
In a special, one-day-only event, Simone Young will take a seat at the piano to accompany the acclaimed Danish
baritone, Bo Skovhus, in a rare vocal recital to be presented as part of the Sydney Symphony 2022 season (5 August).
While Skovhus will be appearing as a soloist in the Orchestra’s presentation of A German Requiem in the same
month (5-7 August), the opportunity for one of the great voices of the world to be heard in solo performance is
one not to be missed. For his recital, Skovhus will perform songs by three Viennese composers from across three
centuries – Joseph Haydn, Franz Schubert and the contemporary musician Robert Stolz (1880-1975).
Described as having “a voice that moves smoothly through all layers, colours and nuances” and his recent performance
at the annual Bayreuth Festival hailed a triumph (Süddeutsche Zeitung, 2021), the recital alongside Simone Young will
offer audiences the opportunity to experience two artists of the highest calibre in an intimate setting.
Skovhus first gained international attention as a last-minute replacement as Don Giovanni at the Vienna Volksoper
and since that sensational appearance, has appeared around the globe in major operas and orchestral performances.
These Sydney Symphony debut performances will follow Skovhus’ appearances in Berg’s Wozzeck with the mighty
Boston Symphony Orchestra at Carnegie Hall, New York and appearances at Munich’s prestigious Bayerishe Staatsoper.
Music for the Soul – Simone Young conducts a German Requiem
For Brahms’ magnificent choral work, Chief Conductor Simone Young and the Sydney Symphony are joined by
Australian soprano Emma Matthews and Danish Baritone Bo Skovhus. The work, created in 1865, was written
by Brahms after the death of his mother, but far from being a lament, he created a work that he himself called
“a human requiem”, designed to console and uplift those left behind. The humanity of Brahms’ creation makes it
a perfect and reflective centrepiece for the reopening season in the Concert Hall.
The Sydney Symphony will be joined not only by two outstanding international soloists but also the Sydney Philharmonia
Choirs for these three special performances which will demonstrate the superb new acoustic of the Concert Hall
(5-7 August).
Principal Partner
8Beethoven Illuminated – Javier Perianes performs Beethoven
Australian audiences will hear internationally acclaimed pianist Javier Perianes for the first time as he makes his
debut with the Sydney Symphony (10-13 August). In a Sydney Symphony first, Perianes will appear across multiple
seasons to perform all five of Beethoven’s piano concertos.
Celebrated for his mastery, a recent review by music authority Gramophone described Perianes as “an artist of
richly lyrical gifts.” Fresh from his debuts with leading orchestras including the London Symphony Orchestra and the
Tonhalle Orchestra, Zurich, the Spanish pianist will begin the multi-year project with Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No.3.
In a program that is a cornerstone of the season, Simone Young will also conduct Testament by Australian composer
Brett Dean – a work drawing on Beethoven’s famed Heiligenstadt Testament of 1802 within which Beethoven
confesses his inner turmoil caused by his encroaching deafness and the degree to which he felt misunderstood by
those around him.
In a belated celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary, the program concludes with Beethoven’s mighty Symphony
No.3, Eroica.
Tonight We Dream – A Midsummer Night’s Dream with Simone Young and Belvoir
For the first time ever, the Sydney Symphony will collaborate with Australia’s Belvoir theatre group to bring together
Shakespeare’s text with Mendelssohn’s incidental music which he created for orchestra and voice.
In this reimagined mingling of music and theatre, audiences will be taken on a magical journey, conceived by
Eamon Flack, Belvoir’s Artistic Director and Chief Conductor Simone Young. Highlights from this most popular
of Shakespeare’s plays will weave through Mendelssohn’s Overture, with its famous Wedding March, and the
music he composed over later years as the popularity of his earlier music grew.
This semi-staged version features an all-star Australian line-up including mezzo-soprano Anna Dowsley, soprano
Samantha Clarke and Cantillation along with a cast of Australian actors to be announced closer to opening date.
The four performances (26-27 August) mark the end of the month-long celebrations of the Concert Hall’s reopening.

9ARTISTIC HIGHLIGHTS OF THE 2022 SEASON
Former Chief Conductor Edo de Waart returns
Australian audiences will have a chance to experience music with Sydney Symphony’s former Chief Conductor
Edo de Waart once again as he conducts the Sydney Symphony in a program that features the Sydney debut of
South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son who will perform Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20. (9-10 September).
The program also includes works by Brahms and Rachmaninov and the world-premiere of Luminifera, a work by
Australian composer Andrew Howes commissioned as part of the Sydney Symphony’s 50 Fanfares project.
De Waart is a towering figure in the world of classical music, having begun his career working with luminaries
such as Leonard Bernstein and Bernard Haitink, he became Music Director of the San Francisco Symphony in 1976.
In the role, he became known as a champion of contemporary composers including Steve Reich, John Adams and
Karlheinz Stockhausen.
He began his tenure as the Sydney Symphony’s Chief Conductor and Artistic Director in 1994 and the subsequent
period saw the Orchestra grow in international stature with major recordings and international tours as well as the
appointment of a significant number of principal musicians. He was a champion of the project to renew the acoustics
of the Concert Hall, recognising how important this was to the artistic growth of Sydney’s musical culture and the
performing expertise of its ensembles. Working with the State Government, he ensured that the essential need for
the Sydney Symphony to rehearse in the hall in which it performed, was met.
These performances are a salute to Edo de Waart’s contribution to the growth of the Sydney Symphony and the
achievements of those who have led the campaign to renew the Concert Hall.
Internationally renowned violinist Ray Chen performs Mendelssohn’s
Violin Concerto
Ray Chen will join the Sydney Symphony Orchestra to perform Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto – the work he performed
to win first prize at the 2008 Menuhin Competition and launched his career at the age of 19. Born in Taiwan and raised
in Brisbane, Chen has become one of Australia’s most popular soloists.
Audiences will hear the now 32-year-old virtuoso perform Mendelssohn’s masterpiece as part of Ray Chen performs
Mendelssohn’s Violin Concerto (18-21 August) with New Zealand-born guest conductor Gemma New in her first

10Violinist Augustin Hadelich makes his first appearance with the
Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Grammy-award winning violinist Augustin Hadelich performs Brahms’ great Violin Concerto in his long-awaited
debut performances with the Sydney Symphony.
In these first appearances, Australian audiences will be able to experience Hadelich’s phenomenal technique and
the artistry which has seen him perform with major orchestras across North America, Europe, and Asia.
Hailed by The New York Times as the “most distinctive violinist of his generation,” Hadelich’s rise to stardom has been
a tale of triumph over adversity, overcoming a severe childhood accident to achieve mastery of his instrument and
accolades from competition juries at a young age.
The same performances see the Sydney Symphony perform Bruckner’s Symphony No.3 and a new work by Australian
composer Melody Eötvös under the direction of Principal Guest Conductor Donald Runnicles (21-24 September).
Leading international cellist Daniel Müller-Schott returns to the
Sydney Symphony Orchestra
When he last joined the Sydney Symphony in 2017, the German-born cellist Daniel Müller-Schott received standing
ovations from Sydney audiences, confirming The New York Times’ assessment that he was “a fearless player with
technique to burn.” Müller-Schott’s global reputation continues to climb as renowned composers create new works
for him and he features increasingly as a chamber music partner to some of the world’s greats.
In 2022 Müller-Schott returns for performances of Dvořák’s Cello Concerto in Heart to Heart – Daniel Müller-Schott
performs Dvořák (27-29 October). Müller-Schott most recently performed the Dvořák Cello Concerto at the opening
night of the prestigious 2021 Dvořák Prague Festival. Australian audiences will hear the renowned cellist perform

James Ehnes for Greatness Collides – James Ehnes performs Beethoven.
Ehnes, described by The New York Times as a “violinist in a class of his own” will perform Beethoven’s Violin Concerto,
the only concerto for the instrument written by the composer and is considered amongst his most lyrical compositions.
Over the last two centuries, the work has become one of the measures by which violinists are judged. Now Australian

and audiences can see this compelling performer as he gives his accounts of Beethoven’s first, fifth and ninth sonatas.

Opera in Concert: Sydney Symphony Orchestra offers a bold contemporary
reading of Beethoven’s Fidelio
In her final Sydney Symphony Orchestra performances for the 2022 season, Chief Conductor Simone Young will
conduct a new presentation of Beethoven’s Fidelio (24-26 November).
This Opera in Concert will feature an internationally celebrated cast joining the combined forces of the Sydney
Symphony and the Sydney Philharmonia Choirs.
Simone Young has invited Tyson Yunkaporta, an author and member of North Queensland’s Apalech Clan to create
a new interpretation of the opera’s original libretto, reflecting Beethoven’s intention of celebrating revolutionary
themes of triumph over adversity and the composer’s belief in the achievements of social progress. Rarely heard live,
Beethoven’s work is both epic and heroic.
South African soprano Elza van den Heever will perform the lead role of Leonore. After her astounding 2021 debut
at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, this dynamic singer’s performances have continued to win critical acclaim.
Originally set to perform the work alongside Simone Young at the Orchestre de Paris before COVID-19 cancellations,
Young and van den Heever will finally meet in Sydney to present this retelling of Beethoven’s sole opera.
The all-star cast for this landmark Opera in Concert also includes New Zealand-born tenor Simon O’Neill as Floristan,
Grammy-Award winning bass-baritone Jonathan Lemalu, environmental-scientist-turned-baritone singer James
Roser, Australian-British soprano Samantha Carke, Australian bass-baritone James Clayton, young Australian tenor

In the same program, the Sydney Symphony premieres Max Richter’s Recomposed: The Four Seasons – a reimagining
of Vivaldi’s 1723 masterpiece of the same name through a contemporary lens. In Recomposed – Max Richter:
The Four Seasons, the German-British composer’s signature aesthetic will come to the fore as he distils the famous
work to its essence and rescores it with his trademark repetition, patterns, and unmatched emotional intensity.
A prolific contemporary composer whose compositions have influenced dance, art, and theatre, Max Richter’s work
has featured in television series and films such as the Oscar-winning 2016 motion picture Arrival, Martin Scorsese’s
Shutter Island, BBC series Peaky Blinders, and sci-fi anthology Black Mirror.
These performances mark the first of the Sydney Symphony’s explorations of the new voices of contemporary
classical music.

12Thirty-nine Sydney Symphony Orchestra musicians
take the spotlight in 2022
Showcasing the skill of its musicians, the 2022 season incudes performances where a total of thirty-nine
Sydney Symphony Orchestra musicians will feature either as soloists or chamber musicians.
For the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s first performance in 2022, Sydney Symphony Principal Trumpet David Elton
will take the stage, performing Haydn’s Trumpet Concerto in The Great Symphony – Mozart and Schubert
(30 March-2 April).
A leading brass instrumentalist, Elton is a trumpet professor at the prestigious Royal College of Music in London
and has performed across Europe, US, and Asia. Performing as soloist alongside his musical colleagues, Elton’s
artistry will be on full display as he performs perhaps the most famous of trumpet concertos, known for its colourful,
ornamented passages and melodic leaps.
In Joyful Beginnings – Beethoven Symphony No. 1 (8-9 April) Concertmaster Andrew Haveron will lead-direct
Beethoven’s First Symphony. The program will also feature Haydn’s First Symphony and Stamitz’s Viola Concerto
with the Sydney Symphony’s Principal Viola Tobias Breider as soloist.
Principal Oboe Diana Doherty will take centre-stage for Strauss’ Oboe Concerto in Sides of Strauss – Diana Doherty
performs Strauss’ Oboe Concerto (22-23 April). A luminary of the Australian and international music scene, the
renowned oboist has inspired several composers to write works specifically for her unmatched abilities. Audiences will
have the opportunity to hear Doherty’s virtuosity as she performs as soloist.
As part of the Classics in the City series – masterpieces handpicked by Concertmaster Andrew Haveron – Haveron
will play-direct in all three concerts. As part of the 2022 series, Principal Oboe Shefali Pryor and Associate
Concertmaster Harry Bennetts perform as soloists for J.S. Bach’s Concerto for Oboe and Violin in Shining Brightly –
Inspired by Bach (22-23 June).
For Celebrating Mozart – Mozart’s Haffner Serenade (19-20 October), the Sydney Symphony Orchestra
Concertmaster will lead the Orchestra in Mozart’s Serenade No.7, K. 250, Haffner. Written by a then 20-year-old
Mozart, this hour-long serenade was dedicated to family friend Marie Elisabeth Haffner marking the occasion of
her wedding, and is regarded as one of the composer’s finest works.
Rounding out the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s 2022 season, Concertmaster Andrew Haveron will feature as
soloist in British Boldness – Holst’s the Planets and Britten (7-10 December), joined by fellow British compatriot
conductor James Judd. Audiences will experience Haveron’s technical wizardry as he performs Britten’s Violin
Concerto – a demanding work for virtuoso soloist.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Cocktail Hour chamber performances at the Utzon Room, Sydney Opera House,
will give audiences the chance to experience the virtuosity of its musicians in a beautiful and intimate Harbour setting.

13The Sydney Symphony Orchestra premieres 13 Australian
works in 2022
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra continues its support for contemporary Australian music in 2022 with the
performance of 13 Australian works, including 11 world-premieres, commissioned as part of the Orchestra’s
50 Fanfares project, along with the world-premiere of an original work by Sydney Symphony percussionist Timothy
Constable (28-29 October), and the Sydney Symphony premiere of Maria Grenfell’s Clockwerk (18 and 21 August).
Launched in 2020, 50 Fanfares is a multi-year initiative to commission and perform music by 50 of Australia’s leading
and emerging professional composers. The 50 composers selected represent the diverse range of voices that reflect
our nation’s cultural landscape.
Yorta Yorta woman, soprano, composer, and educator Deborah Cheetham will be one of the first 50 Fanfares composers
to feature in 2022. Composer of Australia’s first Aboriginal opera Pecan Summer, Cheetham is a leading composer
shaping the future of Australian music. A regular collaborator with leading major artistic organisations across the
country, Cheetham’s latest work commissioned through the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s 50 Fanfares project will
receive its world-premiere as part of Inspired – Alexander Gavrylyuk perfoms Rachmaninov 2 (1-4 June).
Kalkadunga composer William Barton’s 50 Fanfares work will mark the return of the Sydney Symphony to its renewed
Concert Hall home in July 2022 and, as such, the First Nations’ composer will be the first work that audiences will hear
as the Orchestra returns to the Concert Hall as part of Celebrating the Concert Hall – Simone Young Conducts
Mahler 2 (16-20 February).
Internationally recognised as a peerless performer and composer, Barton has collaborated with leading ensembles in
Australia and overseas, including the London Philharmonic Orchestra and the Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra, and has
toured widely in the USA. Known for his unmatched ability to blend Western classical music with the rich artistry of his
heritage, the premiere of his composition Kalkadungu’s Journey was given in the presence of HRH Queen Elizabeth II
and the Royal Family at Westminster Abbey to mark Commonwealth Day in 2019.
Other 50 Fanfares commissions receiving world-premieres in 2022 include those from Chloé Charody (12-15 October)
known for her theatrical fusions of opera, classical music, and circus; composer and arranger Joseph Twist
(15-17 September) who has written music for the hit animated television series Bluey and collaborated with artists
such as Missy Higgins, Tim Minchin, and The Wiggles; and young Western Sydney composer Holly Harrison
(27-29 October) whose works has been performed across Europe, North America and Asia.

14The Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s International Pianists
in Recital series returns in 2022
An audience favourite, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s International Pianists in Recital series makes a comeback
in 2022, featuring three of the world’s finest artists.
Australian pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk kicks of the series in Dreamy Classics – Alexander Gavrylyuk in Recital
(6 June). Celebrated internationally, the Ukranian-born artist has appeared with acclaimed ensembles and has
given recitals in the world’s leading musical halls including London’s Wigmore Hall and the Musikverein in Vienna,
among several other prestigious venues and across Europe and Asia. Based in the Netherlands, Australian audiences
will experience Gavrylyuk’s mastery as he returns home to perform works by Beethoven, Chopin, Liszt, Debussy,
and Rachmaninov.
A musician whose range appears to know no bounds, South Korean pianist Yeol Eum Son will perform works
across various musical styles in Variations – Yeol Eum Son in Recital (5 September). Bursting onto the music
scene in 2011 following a prize-winning performance at the prestigious International Tchaikovsky Competition,
the 35-year-old classical pianist’s international career continues to be on the ascend, with regular appearances
with major orchestras around the world. Known for her bold programming and her special approach to recitals
which she likens to “storytelling” and a “very special atmosphere”, Australian audiences will experience her
unmatched technique as she performs works ranging from the classical stylings of Haydn, the Romantic
compositions of Tchaikovsky and Rachmaninov, Arvo Pärt’s neo-classicism, and the jazz influences of Kapustin.
In the final performance of the 2022 International Pianists in Recital series, Jean Efflam-Bavouzet will make a return
appearance for French Impressions – Jean Efflam-Bavouzet in Recital (17 October). In a French-inspired program,
Bavouzet will perform works by composers from his homeland, offering audiences the opportunity to hear the multi
award-winning artist’s superb technical and interpretative skills.
Sydney Symphony Orchestra offers two new series in 2022
Continuing its commitment to programming innovation, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will offer two new ways to
experience live music performed by Australia’s premier Orchestra with the launch of its Casual Fridays and Sunday
Afternoon Symphony series in 2022.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra’s Casual Fridays series – five Friday concerts throughout the year starting at a
7.00pm earlier time slot – will offer Sydneysiders the chance to escape the work week and kickstart the weekend with
Australia’s premier Orchestra.
As part of Sunday Afternoon Symphony, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will offer audiences greater flexibility
to enjoy music with Australia’s premier Orchestra as it adds Sunday concert options to its weekly performance
schedule. Across five Sunday performances as part of its new series in 2022, audiences will hear the greatest works
from the Classical to Romantic period performed by leading artists including Chief Conductor Simone Young and
internationally-renowned violinist Ray Chen.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra continues to navigate
COVID-19
To maintain a COVID-safe environment, the Sydney Symphony will continue to apply any NSW Public Health
Orders to ticket and seating arrangements, and work closely with venues on on-site procedures.
Where the Sydney Symphony Orchestra is unable to fulfil booking requests due to restrictions, audiences will
be placed on a waitlist, without charge, and contacted should seats become available. Audiences will also have
the flexibility to exchange or receive a credit for tickets should they be unable to attend performances.
The health and safety of its audience and company members remains the highest priority for the Sydney Symphony
Orchestra as it returns to live performances.
