Five spectacular works for orchestra performed by the country’s best school-aged musicians.
Auditioned from across the nation these rising classical music stars have the finesse of a professional orchestra. This is a program centered around three radiant works by women from Maria Grenfell’s powerful River Mountain Sky to the grooving momentum of Australian composer Holly Harrison’s Splinter. The liveliness of Grace Williams’ Fantasia on Welsh Nursery Tunes is a perfect complement to the concert’s grand finale favourites from Tchaikovsky’s iconic Swan Lake.
These young musicians are here to illuminate the future of classical music and it’s never looked so bright.
