This'll bring out the real bargain hunters: Who hates classical music but loves free stuff so will download it anyway? ;-)
As Community Partner of the Sydney Symphony, Ausgrid is delighted to offer a selection of music from both the Ausgrid Master Series and Meet the Music Series, also presented by Ausgrid, for your listening.
Load your music player with free recordings from Sydney Symphony performances and see where the music will take you. The selection ranges from Debussy’s La Mer to Rachmaninoff’s Symphony No.2, and a highlight is Australian composer James Ledger’s Bassoon Concerto, which was premiered earlier this year with the orchestra’s own Principal Bassoon, Matthew Wilkie. We hope you will find music to energise and inspire.
