Poetry and Passion

Mozart - The Marriage of Figaro: Overture
Mendelssohn - Violin Concerto in E minor, Op. 64
Beethoven - Symphony No. 7 .

Our inimitable Chief Conductor Nicholas Milton guides Australia’s most exciting community orchestra through the mischievous overtones of romance and mistaken identity in Mozart’s charming overture to the Marriage of Figaro. In what promises to be a breathtaking performance of Mendelssohn’s beloved Violin Concerto in E Minor, ABC Symphony Australia Young Performer of the Year Cameron Hill couples stunning virtuosity with lyricism and poetry and in Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony most eloquently inspired celebration of dance, your spirits will soar to blissful heights. This will surely be a performance to remember.
