It’s that time of year again! Celebrate the culmination of an incredible year with our Best of 2024 concert at the stunning Quarry Amphitheatre on Saturday, 23 November from 6:30pm.
Featuring all three of our core orchestras – this unmissable event highlights the energy, passion, and skill of our young musicians as they showcase their favourite pieces of the year.
The Monday Night Orchestra will captivate with music from standout collaborations, including Mariel Bildsten, Sarah McKenzie, and Zero Emcee. Expect swinging big band tunes, jazz ballads, and a jazz-hip-hop fusion with the tune, Na Na Na (Zero Emcee), as well as classics like Evil Man (Thad Jones), and Paris in the Rain (Sarah McKenzie).
Our St John of God Health Care Tuesday Night Orchestra promises a dynamic and eclectic mix, from fiery “burner” Magic Flea to the lush Just Friends and Brazilian-inspired Yatra-Ta featuring Sofie Kerr. The set also includes Nutville (Buddy Rich) and I Love Paris (Stan Kenton).
And the Wednesday Night Orchestra will showcase stunning original works by our composers-in-residence (Infinity by Aaron Caldwell and Weird Cat by Jackson Mack) alongside gems like Woman’s Got Soul (Thad Jones), Kind Folk (Kenny Wheeler), and Photographs (Ed Partyka).
Bring a picnic, pre-order a hamper, or enjoy the Limestone Cafe menu while soaking in the vibrant sounds of big band jazz under the stars.
