The Australian Youth Orchestra, conducted by the Grammy award winning conductor John Nelson and with my ex-compatriot piano virtuoso Herbert Schuch have delighted, over three wonderful nights the very enthusiastic public of Adelaide with the music of the great Titan, Ludwig at the Festival Theatre.The hall was full each night and people were genuinely excited by the performance.
The Festival has culminated with the 9th, featuring the soloists Aivale Cole - soprano, Elizabeth Campbell - mezzo soprano, Henry Choo - tenor and Douglas McNicol - baritone and the chorus of State Opera of South Australia and the Philharmonia Chorus, conducted by Timothy Sexton.
All in all, a great event that should be repeated more often, if only to educate the few swines with the flu and mobile phones turned on that almost ruined the atmosphere.
I must apologise for the photo, but there was no photography allowed.
