Next Chapters: Uplifting Orchestral Manoeuvres

As part of the Chatswood Cultural Program, concert-goers will be uplifted by the rhythmic richness of the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra when - for the first time - it joins forces with powerhouse aerialists from physical theatre makers Legs On The Wall for the thrilling Next Chapters concert on Saturday 22 & Sunday 23 May at the North Shore’s leading cultural hub, The Concourse, Chatswood.

This inspiring program, presented by Willoughby City Council, features three Australian composers, one moody Russian, a world premiere, a symphony orchestra, a choir, a saxophone quartet and Australia’s leading physical theatre troupe. 

The breathtaking feats of Legs On The Wall will transfix the audience at the beginning of the concert while listening to the evocative, dancelike Holy Dreaming by the orchestra’s composer-in-residence Alice Chance and finishing with Dmitri Shostakovich’s darkly satirical, acrobatic, courageous and exuberant Symphony No.9 – a serious tour-de-force for the wind section.
