Festival review: Bernstein on Stage!

The Adelaide Symphony Orchestra is joining orchestras all over the world to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the birth of great American composer and conductor Leonard Bernstein – and its first concert on that theme this year demonstrated the capacity for “Lenny” to both confound and delight audiences.

Festival review: Compassion – Lior

A string quartet was the beating heart of this Adelaide Festival chamber music highlight, which took the audience through a gamut of responses to global conflict.

Review: The Events

The Events draws inspiration from the effects of unfathomable acts of violence in the form of mass killings, too often perpetrated by marginalised, troubled male youths.
