This orchestra embraces a cross section of music influences and languages from various cultures in the true spirit of contemporary Australian society. Part of its uniqueness lies in its use of a wide variety of instruments, both old and modern, and arrangements which marry beautifully the diverse makeup of the ensemble and the myriad of resources from which it draws material and inspiration.
Director, Ian Whitehurst
A decade in existence, this band of eighteen musicians plays a repertoire that gives the students a strong historical understanding of the large jazz ensembles as well as performing new works from Australian and overseas composers. We hope you enjoy this powerful and dynamic performance.
