Southern Cross Soloists – Celebrate!
What a swell party this is!
The Southern Cross Soloists (SXS) are wearing their Sunday best for a Viennese birthday celebration of singing, dancing and laughing. The ‘Waltz King’ is in the building and Mozart is telling his jokes. Even Beethoven and Schoenberg are having champagne and managing to enjoy themselves.
Hear the joy of well-known classics as though for the first time. SXS friend, Alexandra Flood, returns from the Vienna Volksoper to sparkle in coloratura arias. Hollywood-based Australian composer Leah Curtis celebrates with her second collaborative work, with Chris Williams, for didgeridoo and ensemble.
