The acclaimed Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (TSO) played a streamed performance at the Little Theatre in Deloraine on Saturday 29 May. 

The audience was enchanted by Dinah Woods’ cor anglais in a performance of Chris Williams’ Canticum Novi Mundi and Julian Yu’s unique arrangement of Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, conducted by Elena Schwartz.

Sam Cairnduff, Director of Marketing & Communications for the TSO, gave an address about TSO Live & On Screen, which brings concerts filmed in Hobart’s Federation Concert Hall to regional Tasmania through local presenters. 

Sam said the TSO is planning more of these screenings in Deloraine in conjunction with Arts Deloraine. 

TSO in July

Mozart’s Serenata Notturna K239 conducted by Elvind Aadland will be the next Live & On Screen Concert, which will also feature selections from Bartok’s Hungarian Sketches (arr. Jones) and Haydn’s Symphony No 102 in B flat.

Bartok's rustic Hungarian Sketches were originally composed for piano and are now a compelling instrumental arrangement by Tim Jones, TSO Principal Tuba.

Serenata Notturna provides great contrast with stately melodies and Haydn’s Symphony No 102, one of his celebrated ‘London’ symphonies, is a rich finale.

The concert will be on Saturday 17 July at 4pm in the Little Theatre, with refreshments available from 3.30pm.

Tickets $15, Arts Deloraine members $12. Bookings online at trybooking.com/BSJYA.
