ASO Sibelius: The Symphonies

This year the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra embarks on a profound exploration of the complete symphonies of Jean Sibelius, led by Chief Conductor Mark Wigglesworth. It’s a rare opportunity to experience all seven masterpieces across a dedicated series, beginning with this opening concert featuring the First and Third Symphonies.

Sibelius fused the spirit of Finnish folk melodies with orchestral grandeur, crafting works that tell stories of nature, memory and identity. The personal, pastoral and patriotic qualities of these symphonies resonate far beyond their composer’s homeland, and hearing them performed live by the ASO at Adelaide Town Hall promises to be something special.
