It’s a joy to welcome audiences in Gippsland to what promises to be a thrilling evening featuring Orchestra Victoria at the Gippsland Performing Arts Centre.

Hosted by the wonderful Jacinta Parsons and conducted by the dynamic Carlo Antonioli, this program brings together a rich and evocative collection of works, from the dramatic intensity of Verdi’s La Forza del destino overture to the rhythmic energy of Marquez’s Danzón No. 2. We’re also proud to present Ella Macens’ Release, a striking piece by one of Australia’s most exciting emerging voices, alongside the serene beauty of Vaughan Williams’ Symphony No. 5.

Each work offers something unique in it's storytelling and sound, and together, they create a program that speaks to the heart of what live orchestral music can be.

We can’t wait to share this powerful experience with the Gippsland community.
