🎵 Choral Riffs – music for strings and voices 🎵Immerse yourself in a performance where the human voice takes centre stage with local chamber orchestra Steel City Strings in a World Premiere of 'Elemental' by acclaimed composer Sally Whitwell. Commissioned specifically for this concert series, 'Elemental' celebrates the natural beauty of our region with a call to ensure its protection.
Joining forces with Con voci Vocal Ensemble and WollCon Chamber Choir, Steel City Strings will present a selection of ethereal works by Gabriel Faure, Eric Whitacre and Ola Gjeilo. The orchestra will also perform locally inspired works by John Spence and Bowral composer Ann Carr-Boyd alongside the dynamic Fast Blue Village 5 by Elena Kats-Chernin.
