About the Performance
The Whitlams join the TSO at Wrest Point for the next performance in their renowned symphonic collaboration.
This retrospective will showcase arrangements by eight of Australia’s finest composers – notably, Tasmanian great, the late Peter Sculthorpe, whose friendship with Tim Freedman is marked by two collaborations.
Classics including No Aphrodisiac and Blow Up the Pokies will be joined by highlights of The Whitlams’ 2020s resurgence, with a song from each of the albums Sancho (2022), and Americana influenced, Kookaburra (2024).
This concert is a TSO Special Event.
We'd love to hear from you.
