Join the Sydney University Symphony Orchestra and Penrith Conservatorium for Modern Myths.

Moving between reflection and imagination, intimate perspectives expand into shared narratives shaped by memory, place, and identity.

Chloé Charody’s My Australia offers a deeply personal meditation on landscape and belonging. That inward focus deepens in Peskin’s Concerto No. 1 in C minor, where, in the hands of Selina Ott (Austria), the trumpet takes on a more searching, unsettled voice; darkly lyrical, taut, and expressive at its edges.

Rimsky-Korsakov’s Scheherazade opens outward into a vivid orchestral tapestry, unfolding in luminous, ever-shifting episodes inspired by a legendary female storyteller, where fantasy, colour, and momentum continually reshape the narrative.
