The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra will be holding its first residential camp this month at The King’s School, North Parramatta, and will culminate in a celebratory concert, open to the public.
After two years of camps being impacted by the COVID pandemic, it’s the third time lucky for many of the 37 students attending this year’s event.
The camp will also be attended by specialist tutors, sharing their knowledge of musical styles, articulations and embellishments with the students in the lead up to their public performance.
The youth orchestra will be under the baton of Guest Conductor Mario Debernig, performing incredible masterpieces such as Johann Strauss II’s ‘Gypsy Baron Overture’, Beethoven’s ‘Symphony No. 5 in C minor, Op. 67’, and Schubert’s ‘Unfinished’ Symphony No.8, D.759’.
This performance will be a tribute to the musicians’ passion and understanding of the genre, and a must-see for music lovers.
The Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra’s National Winter Academy Concert will be on at The King’s School, North Parramatta on Saturday, July 9 at 2pm. Tickets are $27.46. For more information or to book, visit arco.org.au.
