The program will include famous pieces by composer John Williams as featured in Steven Spielberg’s blockbuster movies Superman and Raiders of the Lost Ark, Elgar’s famous Nimrod from Enigma Variations which featured in the movie Dunkirk, plus Brahms famous Hungarian Dances, Bizet’s adored Carmen Suite, and selected movements from Tchaikovsky’s legendary Nutcracker Suite. The concert will also spotlight two sparkling soloist works including Sarasate’s flashy Ziguenerweisen for violin, and Mozarts beautiful second movement from his renowned Clarinet Concerto, all backed by a full orchestra.
The performance is presented in partnership with Riverside Theatre and supported by the Inner West Council and the NSW Government through Create NSW.
