The Capricornian presents “Echoes of EUROPE” with Rockhampton Symphony Orchestra, featuring violinist Margaret Blades​

Rockhampton Symphony Orchestra invites Central Queensland audiences to be swept away by the colour, drama, and brilliance of Europe’s great musical masters. Guided by Chief Conductor Owen Clarke, RSO continues its mission to bring the full breadth of orchestral music to our region with a luminous midwinter program that leads
listeners on a vivid musical journey. 

The evening opens with Mozart’s sparkling, effervescent, and irresistibly theatrical Overture to The Magic Flute - an explosion of wit, wonder, and symphonic charm. We then welcome acclaimed Australian violinist Margaret Blades to the Pilbeam Theatre stage for Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto in E Minor, a work celebrated for its lyrical beauty, emotional depth, and breathtaking virtuosity.

The program concludes with Dvorak’s stormlit, dramatic, and powerfully expressive Symphony No. 8 in G Major, a youthful masterpiece that surges with energy and Romantic intensity.

Join us for an unforgettable night of orchestral splendour as RSO brings Europe’s musical heart to Central Queensland.

Proudly supported by The Capricornian and Lupton Stewart Orthodontics.
