​The natural world inspired many composers to create their greatest music. Felix Mendelssohn visited the Scottish island of Staff in 1829 and was struck with the majestic sea cave known as Fingal’s Cave. Instantly, the sound of the rolling waves and the isolation of the location inspired him to write one of his most popular works, The Hebrides. Starting with this majestic overture, Queensland Symphony Orchestra will lead the audience through a series of evocative classical works that have drawn their inspiration from nature.

Program Includes:
- Mendelssohn Hebrides Overture
- Vaughan-Williams The Lark Ascending (soloist: Warwick Adeney, violin)
- Grieg Peer Gynt Suite No.1 “Morning Mood” and “In The Hall of the Mountain King”
- Beethoven Symphony No. 6 “Pastoral”
