But for one night only, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra will perform some of their world-renowned compositions at Paul Keating Park, led by Australian conductor Roger Benedict, on Saturday, February 19.
Featuring the bright energy and musical lightness of Mozart and Tchaikovsky, to the bigger and more dramatic works of Beethoven and Brahms, audiences will experience the magic of live performance right in the heart of Bankstown’s CBD.
Mayor Khal Asfour says it will be a night not to be missed and a rare opportunity to see world-class entertainment.
“Music-lovers of all ages are sure to enjoy some of the most beautiful classical works and compositions performed outdoors,” Mayor Asfour said.
“This is a great chance, especially for young people, to experience this calibre of music right here at home.”
Mayor Asfour said he urged families to grab their picnic baskets and blankets and make a night of it.
Sydney Symphony Orchestra CEO Craig Whitehead said the orchestra was excited to perform, for the very first time, at Paul Keating Park in Bankstown’s CBD.
“This performance, in the heart of the Bankstown, is an important part of the Sydney Symphony’s commitment to share the experience of live performance with audiences across NSW,” he said.
Gates open at 5pm, with a performance by a local community ensemble kicking off the night. At 6.30pm, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra takes the stage to perform famous classics. Tickets cost $5, with all proceeds going to local charities.
