Twinkle, Twinkle - Bang! Bang!

6th of December 2009

In our final concert of the year, the orchestra will join forces with the Waverley Bondi Beach Band for a performace of the traditional concert-finale blockbuster Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, one of the most popular and dramatic pieces in the repertory. Be assured however that no canons will be fired in the auditorium!

And by way of complete contrast, the orchestra will join forces with brilliant young Sydney-based pianist  Cho Ki Wong in a performace of Variations on a Nursery Theme by the great early twentieth century Hungarian composer  Erno Dohnanyi.  This is a great showpiece for the soloist and orchestra alike - a sparkling, fun-filled set of variations based on the simplest nursery rhyme tune of all, Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. 

The concert will also include Schubert's light and charming Symphony No.3 and Musiic from the Elizabethan Court, a suite for brass band by the English twentieth century composer Elgar Howarth. A concert of beguiling variety - what a great way to end the musical year!
