Next Chapters: Uplifting Orchestral Manoeuvres 2021

As part of the Chatswood Cultural Program, concert goers will be uplifted by the rhythmic richness of the Willoughby Symphony Orchestra when - for the first time - it joins forces with powerhouse aerialists from physical theatre makers Legs On The Wall for the thrilling Next Chapters concert.

This inspiring program, presented by Willoughby City Council, features three Australian composers, one moody Russian, a world premiere, a symphony orchestra, a choir, a saxophone quartet and Australia's leading physical theatre troupe. 

The breathtaking feats of Legs On The Wall will transfix the audience at the beginning of the concert while listening to the evocative, dancelike Holy Dreaming by the orchestra's composer-in-residence Alice Chance and finishing with Dmitri Shostakovich's darkly satirical, acrobatic, courageous and exuberant Symphony No.9 - a serious tour-de-force for the wind section.
