KICKING off the Hamilton Symphony Orchestra’s (HSO) annual concert at the Hamilton Performing Arts Centre on Sunday September 11, was a spirited overture by English composer, Arthur Sullivan, ‘The Pirates of Penzance’, preceding a carefully selected repertoire by conductor, Angus Christie.
Infused with classics from Handel, Tchaikovsky, Dvorak, Strauss, Verdi and Mozart, the program also featured compositions from contemporary Melbourne based composer, originally from Glenthompson and childhood friend of Mr Christie, David Cundy.
