What: Prepare the hampers! One of the most popular annual traditions in the Sydney Festival calendar has happily been rescheduled. The ultimate al fresco get-together, Sydney Symphony Under the Stars, will now take place on Saturday, 26 March, making autumn just a little more excellent than usual.
This is a free and unticketed event; simply bring your favourite people, a picnic rug, a bottle of bubbly, and all the cheese in the land to Parramatta Park – and they’ll bring the epic music from across the ages.
Led by celebrated conductor Benjamin Northey, the world-class Sydney Symphony Orchestra marks its 90th Anniversary with a program ranging from canonical greats like Dvořák and Mozart to a selection of heart-stirring John Williams film classics from ET to Indiana Jones.
All building towards the thunderous finale accompanied by a dazzling splash of fireworks, Sydney Symphony Under the Stars is an unforgettable night of companionship and orchestral classics under the starlit canopy of an autumn evening.
It’s also the most fun you can have with Mozart and a blanket, probably.
Where: The Crescent, Parramatta Park
When: SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 2022 AT 7 PM – 9 PM
