19.01.2022 Concerto for cello and orchestra - 'Concerto Elegiaco’ Unlike Elgar's great cello concerto, which is a poem of regret for a lost world he had known, Frank Bridge wrote "Oration" as a musical protest. It brings us right into the reality of war. The ending transforms the whole work, making it a serious challenge to the codas of the Elgar and Dvorak concertos for the title of the most beautiful ending to a cello concerto. The originality and power of this music make it worthy of its place among the finest 19th/20th century cello concerti.
17.01.2022 After Sunday night's concert Adelaide Summer Orchestra 2018 will be over for another year - but the long weekend 26-28 January might inspire some to get out the barbie and bring back a few memories!

16.01.2022 The Jets Own the Streets - 2.33 In West Side Story two rival teenage gangs, the Jets (white Americans) and the Sharks (Puerto Rican immigrants), struggle for control of the neighborhood in the Upper West Side of New York City. The Prologue of the Symphonic Dances sets the scene of growing tensions between the gangs. Adelaide Summer Orchestra 7pm Sunday 21 January 2018 at Norwood Concert Hall! http://bit.ly/ADSO21Jan2018
