Classical Destinations

Over the years, this series has visited many of the major European cities and, in this very special episode, Aled guides us through some of the most important music festivals that take place in them each year.

We discover the eccentric world of Percy Grainger and his place of birth, Melbourne. We follow his life through his music, his relationships with other great composers of the time, his innovative and inventive spirit.

Aled take the series to Australia and the harbour city of Sydney. He takes us on a guided tour behind the scenes of the iconic Sydney Opera House. We also explore the musical world of the Sydney Symphony Orchestra, Opera Australia and the Australian Chamber Orchestra with its emerging artists program. A stunning experience visually and musically.
