Offering works from major 20th and 21st century composers, this evening displays “luscious”, (that’s our word), textures from the pens of Samuel R. Hazo and Percy Grainger, as well as featuring the “wickedly infectious”, (his words), “Cartoon” from Paul Hart.
Central to the evening will be the Canberra premiere of James Barnes’, epic “Symphony No. 3”.
