Join Sydney Symphony for Guillame Paque’s Souvenir de Curis, performed in memory of Peter Weiss AO, lifetime friend and beloved benefactor of the Orchestra.
Programmed by Principal Cello Umberto Clerici, Paque’s cello quartet is melancholic and elegant, sad yet playful.
“Peter wanted everyone to recognise the importance of creativity and expression among human beings. This piece is in memory of a man of care, curiosity and wisdom.”
