About the Performance
Lime Cordiale is giving their indie pop tunes a symphonic facelift in a transformative, bucket-list collaboration with Adelaide Symphony Orchestra.
From ARIA chart-topping tracks to quirky and treasured favourites, conductor Vanessa Scammell and arranger Alex Turley give the band’s catalogue a majestic, high-brow makeover. It’s a nostalgic return to their nerd roots and a full-circle journey back to the orchestras where it all began.
Enchanting, intimidating, and utterly epic, this is Lime Cordiale as you’ve never heard them before. Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime symphonic headrush. The revolution will be orchestrated.
...when a band and orchestra trust each other, the result can be something truly memorable.

"Performing their award-winning discography accompanied by the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, Lime Cordiale proved how their songs stand the test of genre. For the Leimbach brothers, it was clearly a milestone, and for the audience, it was a reminder of how thrilling live music can be when artists take risks" - Satine Richmond, The Note
