Who we are
We are the raw orchestra of Melbourne. No concert halls, no tails. We play the classics with a contemporary edge.
Upcoming Event
“Compassion” reflects on the beauty and artistry in both Jewish and Islamic poetry and writings, their shared history and understandings of living with compassion and empathy. It is one of Australia’s most beloved symphonic works, by two icons of Australian music (Lior and Nigel Westlake), and will be a musical event not to be missed!
We will be performing “Compassion” (Westlake/Lior) for choir and orchestra with our friends @choraledge. Consider donating to help us bring it to life!
