Age Recommendation
Recommended for ages 8+.
Every year we survey our audience and ask them to tell us some of their favourite pieces, then we choose a few to perform in our QSO Favourites concert. This year our masterchef for the Favourites menu is our Chief Conductor Umberto Clerici who has hand-selected some of his favourites, to play alongside yours.
At the heart of this concert is the magnificent concerto for classical guitar and orchestra Concierto de Aranjuez, performed by one of Australia’s leading classical guitarists, Karin Schaupp. We will also have some music from the world of opera (Carmen), ballet (Prokofiev’s Romeo and Juliet) and film (Morricone’s music from Cinema Paradiso). This is a great opportunity to enjoy some music you love, hear something new, and bring a friend to introduce them to the orchestra.
