THE PLANETS AND BEYOND
Focus on “Mars”

⚔️ “Mars, the Bringer of War” was so powerful and dramatic that many people think it sounds like movie music written decades later.

In fact, Holst composed it before either World War had even begun.

Experience the driving rhythms and massive orchestral sound LIVE at The Planets and Beyond.

Just 3 days to RESPLENDENT ROSSINI!

At our first combined rehearsal with soloists, UWA Choral Society and South Side Symphony Orchestra, SSSO members had this to say -

Barbara (Bassoonist) "Great rehearsal tonight. Really good to have everyone together & play in this wonderful auditorium."

Emma and Claire (Double Bass) " Our little bass section had a brilliant time at tonight's rehearsal. It was breathtaking to hear the Stabat Mater with the Choir and soloists, and hear where we sit within the entire work. We are looking forward to seeing you at this Sunday's concert."

Thomas and Emma (Oboe) " Playing oboe with Emma this Sunday alongside a huge Choir and the four soloists - never experienced that kind of vocal power before, it's pretty amazing 🎶"

Conducted by Chris van Tuinen and Izaak Wesson, be dazzled by Rossini’s - The Barber of Seville - selected arias & The Stabat Mater.
