Illuminate | Bruch, Britten & Tchaikovsky (Newcastle)

Listen to classical music the way the composers wanted you to hear it!

Established in 2013, the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra has already become a dynamic influence on the Australian music scene. A world-class orchestra of leading Australian musicians, we are dedicated to the performance of Classical and Romantic orchestral and chamber music repertoire in historically informed style on instruments from the time period the music was written.

Our first concert for 2021, ILLUMINATE takes you on a journey through Europe without ever leaving the concert hall, through music by Max Bruch, Benjamin Britten and Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky. We are delighted to welcome back soprano Jacqueline Porter to perform Britten's remarkable song cycle Les Illuminations, with text by French poet Arthur Rimbaud.
