25.01.2022 Some beautiful moments from Spirit and Hope, featuring the very talented Jon Tooby who wielded both baton and cello for this concert! Our thanks to Jon for his stunning rendition of Haydn's first cello concerto, Guwanbal and Netanela for transporting us with Miyapunu, the Djari Youth Choir, and all of our wonderful musicians in DSO.

24.01.2022 Everyone loves a hoedown and what better way to enjoy one than to dress up in your best country outfit and join DSO musicians and young artists on Saturday at Ludmilla Primary (or next Saturday if you're in Batchelor!) for some line-dancing fun? DSO's Tara Murphy will take you through the steps and be sure to get your toes tapping. But get in quick because tickets are selling fast! https://www.dso.org.au/event/kids-classics-hoedown/

20.01.2022 Thank you to all of you who came to our Metamorphosis concerts last weekend as part of the 2020 Darwin Festival. It was a weekend of exquisite music and we are delighted we were able to perform these stunning chamber programs despite COVID-19 changes and cancellations. The concerts were a testament to our resilience and adaptability; in many ways, they embodied the concept of metamorphosis! #2020DF #Classicalmusic #Rehair #Chambermusic #Australiancomposers #DSO #DarwinEntertainmentCentre
