MOZART’S JUPITER
AUSTRALIAN BRANDENBURG ORCHESTRA
3 – 12 September

25th anniversary celebrations continue with a triumphant symphony, a favourite for flute and harp, & a rarely heard overture.

Mozart didn’t give his final symphony the title ‘Jupiter’ but it is entirely appropriate for such an epic and powerful piece of music to be named after the all-powerful Roman god, Jupiter.

It has been reported that Woody Allen has claimed Mozart’s ‘Jupiter’ to be so perfect and so complex, the symphony proves the existence of God, as it is impossible for the human ear to hear all that is being performed and that only God could completely grasp its profundity.

Teamed with the exquisite Flute and Harp Concerto and the beautiful and rarely performed overture to the little known opera Lucio Silla, this is a Mozart only program that will take you on a journey filled with emotion and joy .

soloists

Taking centre stage on period harp and flute will be two incredibly talented musicians, Marshall McGuire (period harp) and Melissa Farrow (period flute). Their playing is the epitome of beauty and elegance, every bit as captivating as it is accomplished.

Marshall is acclaimed as one of the world’s leading harpists in baroque and contemporary repertoire (he has commissioned and premiered over 100 new works for the instrument). He is a three-time ARIA nominee and is also Music Programmer at one of Australia’s most prestigious venues, the Arts Centre Melbourne.

Melissa is well-known and much-loved by Brandenburg audiences. She has been Principal Flute for over ten years and performs regularly as a soloist on flutes of the baroque and classical periods.

THE DELLTONES

“Harmony and Rock n’ Roll That’s Good for the Soul”

 

Saturday 30 August at 8.00pm

Wagga Wagga Civic Theatre

Australian music legends The Delltones were told back in 1958 “Don’t give up your day job, this music is not going to last”. More than 55 years later The Delltones are still touring and delighting audiences with their highly polished, colorful and energized show.

The Delltones perform their well loved classic songs ”You’re The Limit’, ‘Get A Little Dirt On Your Hands’, ‘Come A Little Bit Closer’, ‘Hangin’ Five’ including DooWop, Pop and Rock n Roll songs “Get A Job’, ‘Papa Oom Mow Mow’ and ‘Mr Bassman’ from their full-blown revival in the mid 80’s Gold Album ‘Bop Til Ya Drop’ and their follow up album ‘Tickled Pink’.

The Delltones remain one of the most consistent live entertainers in Australia with arguably the longest performing and recording history for a vocal harmony band with an original member – Peewee Wilson.

If you only go out once this year, don’t miss the Delltones Live – They’re better than ever!
