Willoughby Symphony Orchestra: Sea and Stars

Next date: Sunday, 16 May 2027 | 02:00 PM to 04:00 PM

Season Concert 2

Chart a course for adventure on a voyage through choral and orchestral music from Beethoven to today. Sail from the thrilling musical storytelling of Australian composer Melody Eötvös’s Hic Svnt Dracones (Here Be Dragons) to Beethoven’s rollicking cantata Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage.

Marvel at stars on the rise when the winner of the 2027 Young Composer Award is unveiled, matched with the world premiere of While It Lasts, a heartfelt piece by emerging Australian composer Belinda Blades. The voices of the Willoughby Symphony Choir conjure higher realms with Ralph Vaughan Williams’ exquisite Serenade to Music, before his Toward the Unknown Region, a rarely-heard early work, brings the concert home.

You will be transported to a world of exploration and adventure when you step into the concert hall for this unique and electrifying program.
