The title of this Sydney Symphony Orchestra APT Series concert refers to the three symphonic poems by Respighi, Roman Festivals (Feste Romane, 1929), Fountains of Rome (Fontane di Roma, 1916) and Pines of Rome (Pini di Roma, 1924), which made up the second half.
The Sydney Symphony Orchestra paid its respects to the distinguished Australian composer Peter Sculthorpe who recently passed away by including an unscheduled performance of his Memento Mori in its ATP series concert thus week.
