The DSO always looks forward to visiting Palmerston and playing in the beautiful acoustic of the Recreation Centre. We are also looking forward to welcoming Philip Arkinstall – one of Australia’s greatest wind players, whose poetic playing enchants concert-goers around the country. This concert will also feature the DSO wind soloists under Phillip’s direction – providing an opportunity for our wind players to shine in their own right as a section. We present a concert of music from ballet and opera which opens windows onto the magical landscapes of the fairy-tale worlds of The Sleeping Beauty and the legendary goddess Sylvia – as well as one of the favourite Romantic clarinet concertos – Weber No. 1.
