WINTER WONDERLAND SUNDAY 29TH JUNE
Featuring the works of the two Scandinavian masters, Sibelius and Grieg. Sibelius's Violin Concerto will be played by well-known Sydney violinist James Cuddeford. The wintry tone continues with Mozart's tragic yet profoundly beautiful G Minor Symphony.

FRENCH KISS SUNDAY 7TH DECEMBER
An intriguing program featuring the internationally-acclaimed British pianist and scholar Roy Howat in a performance of Poulenc's playful Concert Champetre. The main work is Stravinsky's delightful ballet The Fairy's Kiss, based on melodies of Tchaikovsky but transformed by Stravinsky's genius. Berlioz's evocative Royal Hunt and Storm from his grand opera Les Troyens complete the French connection.
