Perth Symphony Orchestra lights the way in a captivating collaboration delivered with poise and polish, writes Angela Ho.

“Campbell’s intensely intimate pianissimos generate deserving plaudits from the audience. I take it as a moment of humbling, to be reminded of the glory of the Baroque period’s delicate harmonies and simple moods. “

“…voices quietly humming, floating upwards in close chromatic steps, and a sense of eternal cosmic energy.”

"The audience was thrilled to hear the wonderful purity, expression and instrumental beauty of these stellar vocalists, tonight delivering and championing new, truly Australian music.”

“It was immediately apparent that musical and vocal compatibility, honed by years of singing together and close friendship, would be a key element of this recital. The precise, crystalline “ping” of Macliver’s soprano and honeyed warmth of Campbell’s mezzo-soprano make an exciting and satisfying combination.”

The Perth Symphony Orchestra’s INXS Reimagined goes beyond a cover concert. It’s a symphonic celebration, bursting with energy and different compositions. Fans, both old and new, are in for a treat as the orchestra delivers an exhilarating re-imagining of the band’s iconic music.
