Springfest - Quick Tix

Event Date: 13/11/2016, 10:00 am

Join us for our annual celebration of Spring at Breenhold!
The annual Breenhold Gardens SpringFest is back in 2016, bigger and better than ever. Join us for a day of sun, spring, and the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Led by the inimitable Roger Benedict, the Sydney Symphony Orchestra Fellows will host two, intimate, one-hour concerts, deftly capturing the sounds of spring in their performances. Biber, Brahms, Mozart, and even Lennon and McCartney will provide the perfect “sound-track” for taking in the breathtaking setting that is Breenhold Gardens.

Founded in the mid-1960s by the late Sydney ballet and theatre critic and political journalist-turned-businessman, Thomas Essington Breen Snr, and his wife Charlotte ‘Bill’ Breen,

Breenhold Gardens comprises thousands of exotic and indigenous trees and flowering shrubs. This one-of-a-kind landscape, which more recently provided the backdrop for Baz Luhrmann’s movie, The Great Gatsby, is the perfect union of a Northern Hemisphere-style garden estate and the untamed Australian bush.

There’s plenty to enjoy at Breenhold Gardens SpringFest – whether you’re a classical music aficionado, a green thumb, or a young family, SpringFest is the ultimate Sunday adventure. Relax to the music in the shade of a weatherproof marquee or bask in the warm spring sunshine with a picnic lunch and fresh brewed coffee from our coffee cart. For active,
young adventurers the Kid’s Scavenger Hunt runs all day and provides little hands with the perfect opportunity to get up close to nature.

Let's Talk About You

Event Date: 16/11/2016, 08:00 pm

LET'S TALK ABOUT YOU by Rivka Hartman
Two of Australia’s favourite veteran actors, ANNE TENNEY and ELAINE HUDSON, embody one high-powered character, the two-faced Ernestine, in AFI and GOLD AWGIE award winner Rivka Hartman’s new play LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU, a black comic love story about and between women. A character piece with a fast-moving storyline, LET’S TALK ABOUT YOU takes a witty and penetrating look at love and friendship – what makes it work, and what makes it fall ridiculously apart. Sexually charged, emotionally raw, the play sparkles with humour and insight.

Summer Rain

Event Date: 16/11/2016, 07:30 pm

A light-hearted yet bittersweet story.
Christmas Eve, 1945. Harold Slocum, proprietor of Slocum’s Travelling Family Tent Show, has a love of the horses, an intimate relationship with bookies and no money to pay his troupe.

After the performers walk out, the Slocum family finds itself in the drought-blighted NSW outback town of Turnaround Creek. Deciding to put on a show, they muster the enthusiasm of the townsfolk, despite the hostility shown by local publican Barry Doyle, who remembers the last time Harold was in town, 16 years previously.

Then the drought breaks and the Slocums are stranded. Over nine days of rain, dormant memories of an illicit affair resurface and emotions run high, new life is breathed into the town, love blossoms and a feeling of rejuvenation and optimism for the future after the long years of war, beings to take hold.

Nick Enright and Terence Clarke’s charming musical celebrates the vaudeville troupes which travelled outback Australia in the 1930s and 40s and the tight-knit rural communities they entertained.

A light-hearted yet bittersweet story, delightful songs and lively dance numbers makes Summer Rain is the perfect way to end the year.

Jackie Loeb & Gretel Killeen - We Don't Like...

Event Date: 11/11/2016, 07:00 pm

Young people should be seen and not heard until they’re at least forty.
Young people should be seen and not heard until they’re at least forty. We don’t like young people, in particular we don’t like good looking, confident young people who are in love. So, we’re starting a revolution! We’ve had enough of their clear-skinned selfie smiles and deluded optimism. It’s time to set the record straight with our inspiring tales of the futility of life, the agony of love and the joys of being broke, old and sexless. Yay! Join bitterly hilarious life warriors, Jackie Loeb and Gretel Killeen for a night that you will never forget… but they very well might.

The final Met Concert for 2016
In the final Met Concert for 2016, The Metropolitan Orchestra (TMO) led by Chief Conductor Sarah-Grace Williams will leave audiences enthused and ecstatic in a concert filled with the inspiration of its composers. Mendelssohn was inspired by Shakespeare, Kats-Chernin was inspired by Mozart and Beethoven inspired the world.

Written for William Shakespeare’s play, Mendelssohn’s evocative A Midsummer Night’s Dream Overture was composed at the tender age of 17. A work filled with twists and turns, ebbs and flows, it ends as it begins with the sound of a gentle breeze blowing through the trees. In the Ornamental Air for Basset Clarinet for Orchestra, Kats-Chernin sets out to accent the flexibility and colours of this unusual instrument, while giving it a natural home in the context of the orchestra. The wide range of the basset clarinet is accentuated during this virtuosic work. TMO’s principal clarinet Andrew Doyle is the soloist with a brand new instrument built for this very performance.

Met Concert 5 and TMO’s eighth performance season will reach its inspiring climax with Beethoven’s magnificent Symphony no 7. Many lovers of classical music consider the second movement of this fabulous work to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written. The joyful, energetic and celebratory symphony driven by dance rhythms will complete a magical evening, and magical season from The Metropolitan Orchestra.

WHITE YOUTHS’ RACIAL CONFRONTATION IN NEW AUSTRALIAN PLAY
A powerful new Australian play coming to Sydney’s Old 505 Theatre is set to expose the implicit racial bias that pervades Australian culture - through the eyes of a naïve and ignorant younger generation.

FLOOD, by Chris Isaacs, places white Australian youths in the centre of racial confrontation when they find themselves out of their comfort zone and – quite literally – out of their depth.

Six non-indigenous ‘twenty-somethings’ head off on a camping trip into outback Australia on an end-of-year rite of passage to reconnect as old friends. However, their journey into the unknown takes a violent turn after they set up camp near an isolated creek.

Treating it as a swimming hole, they encounter an enraged member of the local indigenous community
and the encounter escalates with disturbing and tragic consequences.
The series of events that follow will forever change their understanding of the land, Aboriginal culture and its place within the society in which they live.

“They whirl across the stage doing high-speed acrobatic somersaults, to percussive onstage music, that take the breath away. “ The Guardian, UK

“The movement is so precise, so stylised, that it seems like puppetry or animation, and it is completely thrilling. The whole effect is enthralling. I was often genuinely breathless with amazement.” BACHTRACK

All-Tchaikovsky Concert

Event Date: 05/11/2016, 05:00 pm

ALL-TCHAIKOVSKY CONCERT FOR NOVEMBER 5 BALMAIN SINFONIA’S ‘ENCORE’ AT LEICHHARDT FORUM
Following its sell-out success with it first concert at the Italian Forum last August, the Balmain Sinfonia returns to the wonderful venue with an all-Tchaikovsky program featuring outstanding Australian cellist Georg Pedersen playing The Rococo Variations.
The Russian master’s Swan Lake Suite and his First Symphony bookend the Variations – a magnificent cello concerto in the form of variations on an original theme, written in the spirit of the composer’s ‘idol’ - Mozart.

Tchaikovsky wrote some of the world’s most memorable and most often performed ballet music: Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker and, debuting at Moscow’s Bolshoi Theatre in 1877, Swan Lake.

The First Symphony is said to have caused Tchaikovsky more “effort and anguish” than any other of his works.
Despite these psychological torments, the work is mostly cheerful and sweet, especially when compared
to the much darker symphonic works to come. Tchaikovsky gave the symphony the descriptive “Winter Daydreams” and its unmistakably Russian character derives from the closeness of most of its themes to the patterns and moods of Russian folk music.

Georg Pedersen is one of Australia’s foremost cello teachers and performers.
He has given well over 3000 concerts in 24 countries, as soloist, recitalist, chamber musician and principal orchestra player.
