New music for orchestra
MUSIC lovers are in for a treat when the Warrnambool Symphony Orchestra plays at the Lighthouse Theatre next month.
The orchestra will play some new music at its August 3 concert (which will start at 2pm).
Eight composers with a connection to the Warrnambool area have each created a short piece to be played by the orchestra.
Some of the composers are experienced while there are other musicians who have never written music for an orchestra before.
Melbourne-based musician David Cundy, himself an acclaimed organist, harpist and composer, will be on hand to offer some expert comments to each composer.
“While the Lighthouse Studio has excellent acoustics and raked seating, we will have expert assistance from One Day Studios to help ensure that patrons with hearing impairment will hear everything in fine detail,” orchestra president John MacInnes said.
“We are also grateful for the support of Creative Victoria for this exciting venture,” he added.
Tickets are available from the Lighthouse Theatre box office or online at www.lighthousetheatre.com.au
