On Sat 23 and Sun 24 June at St Columba’s Woollahra, the WPO will also play a Percy Grainger favourite and young local composer Steven Kreamer's brilliant work COGS, featuring Translucent Duo - David Lockeridge on Percussion and Bernie Lagana on Saxophone. Sculthorpe’s early work the Bourke and Wills Suite is an Australian 20th century classic and these concerts place it alongside two works by Kats-Chernin: Eliza’s Aria from the Wild Swans Suite and Dance of the Paper r Umbrellas. The concert also features Grainger’s witty and whimsical Danish Folk Song Suite. For this follow-up its sell-out March concerts, the orchestra welcomes to the conductor’s stand talented Brad Lucas in his first appearance with the WPO.
