Love Echoes

In a celebration of the rainbow community, the Australian Queer Orchestra's Love Echoes is a one-hour chamber orchestra concert of classical and contemporary works by queer composers.

This concert features works by Australian queer composers Christina Green and William Yaxley and arranger Tim Verdon. The program also includes a new work based on the themes of Tchaikovsky's 6th Symphony, the Pathétique Symphony which couples Tchaikovsky's music with the narration of his letters to a male lover.

Don't miss the inaugural performance by the AQO: a concert that will be full of queerness, beautiful music and much love!
