25.01.2022 They say a change in acoustic is as good as the rest... Our rehearsal last night of Rimsky-Korsakov's "Scheherazade" was EPIC. We're thrilled to be presenting this work alongside award-winning Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin's "Wild Swans Suite" ( feat. stunning Bonnie de la Hunty - Soprano ) and more, next weekend at the beautiful Government House Western Australia ballroom. ... We can't wait to show you what we've been working on! To get a teaser of last night's rehearsal, head over to our #BTS story highlights on our Instagram page! https://bit.ly/3pP5oHh

Bonnie de la Hunty - Soprano) by award-winning Australian composer Elena Kats-Chernin - which we'll be playing next Saturday ...28 November 2020 at the stunning Government House Western Australia Ballroom! https://bit.ly/339VLcD
