2023: a first-class year for Australian symphonic orchestras

2023 is looking to be one of our strongest on record for orchestral symphonic music across Australia. Alongside the six major orchestras, with full program activities in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth and Hobart, several other orchestras and chamber groups are offering well-considered, beautifully-crafted and interesting programs.

In August award-winning trumpeter Wynton Marsalis, with the legendary Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra, will perform concerts in both Melbourne and Sydney. Marsalis’ own jazz symphony, All Rise will feature in one concert alongside members of the Melbourne and Sydney Symphony Orchestras respectively, under the baton of Benjamin Northey.
