The Orange Civic Theatre 2017 season opens with the acclaimed Sydney Symphony Orchestra (SSO) making a flying visit to Orange for one night only.
Orange City Council’s Services Policy Committee Chair Cr Ron Gander said the show was a great opportunity for, not only lovers of orchestra, but the region’s music students to see high quality, renowned musicians right in “our own backyard”.
“Orange’s schools and the Orange Regional Conservatorium teach hundreds of students music every year and we’re lucky to have the Sydney Symphony Orchestra travel here to inspire these young musicians,” Cr Gander said.
The SSO returns to Orange with a concert featuring two great masters of the Classical era: Mozart and Haydn.
The SSO kicks off its 2017 season at City Recital Hall, before coming to Orange, with a victory lap for Russian pianist Andrey Gugnin, winner of the 2016 Sydney International Piano Competition and recipient of the SSO-sponsored Eileen Joyce Prize.
Orange Civic Theatre Manager Michelle Pearce said she was “thrilled” to continue the theatre’s relationship with the SSO to secure this performance for Orange.
“The Company will literally make a flying visit to Orange to perform this work straight after their performance at Angel Place in Sydney,” she said.
Tickets go on sale through Ticketek on January 19 for the single performance at 7pm
Saturday, February 4.
Tickets are already available to subscription holders.
