Sydney Singing

Peter Sculthorpe, who turned 75 in 2004, is almost certainly Australia's most internationally-recognised composer. Best-known for his broad landscape compositions such as 'Kakadu' and 'Earth Cry', he now turns his attention to his own backyard in this new work tailor-made for the SBS Radio and Television Youth Orchestra. SYDNEY SINGING takes us on a journey through Sydney over the course of a day. Our program includes interviews with Peter Sculthorpe in each of the locations described by his music. Our young soloists perform outdoors in these locations.
