Win 2 Tickets to Thrilling Mahler, Mozart & Debussy Concert

The Balmain Sinfonia begins its 2017 season with a thrilling concert of Mahler, Mozart and Debussy,
showcasing young Australian Soprano Zoe Drummond and with recently honoured artistic director Gary Stavrou OAM again holding the baton.

The latest in the popular series of Saturday afternoon concerts takes place on 1 April 5pm, at the Italian Forum auditorium in Leichhardt.

They will play Debussy’s Petite Suite, Mozart’s Exsultate, Jubilate - almost a concerto for voice -
and Mahler's 4th Symphony (which also features a closing vocal movement).

The soloist is young Sydney soprano Zoe Drummond - a first class honours graduate of the Sydney Conservatorium of Music.
She is in the 3rd year of her Melba Opera Trust scholarship and, in 2016, won the prestigious Opera Foundation for Young Australians Lady Fairfax New York Scholarship. She also made her Opera Australia principal debut in The Eighth Wonder and recorded her first CD with The Seven Sopranos.
This year, she performs with Victorian Opera and Opera Australia before commencing post-graduate study
at London’s famous Guildhall School of Music and Drama on full scholarship.

It’s fitting that, in the Balmain Sinfonia’s 25th anniversary year, its founder, chief conductor and artistic director, Gary Stavrou was (this just passed Australia Day) awarded the Order of Australia Medal for services to music.
