The Strathfield Symphony Orchestra presents The Romantics featuring viola soloist Lisa Sung, currently of Julliard, and their regular collaborator Na Ri Kim on organ.

Is there any greater celebratory work than the 1812 Overture? Cannons in the Strathfield Town Hall? You will have to be there to find out.

Although it pushes the boundaries of romanticism, William Walton’s Viola Concerto joins the program. Saint-Säens’ Organ Symphony has long been on the orchestra;s performing wish list, but have been limited by the lack of an organ. They have found an organ which they have hired and have finally been able to program this fantastic work. The inclusion of this symphony represents Strathfield Symphony’s dedication to exploring repertoire less often performed by amateur orchestras.
