Prepare your picnic hampers! The most popular free event of Sydney Festival’s summer program is back in action for 2024 with a soaring new program. A free, unticketed evening of good company and great music featuring a rousing fireworks finale, there's a reason Sydney Symphony Under the Stars is a permanent fixture on the Festival's annual calendar.
This year you can enjoy original works featuring the didgeridoo magic of William Barton, joined by Aunty Delmae Barton, Véronique Serret and Iva Davies, along with the transportive sitar playing of Anoushka Shankar. All in collaboration with Sydney Symphony Orchestra and guest conductor Benjamin Northey, who will bring it home with traditional classics and a big sparkly bang.
This delightful event returns to the Crescent in Parramatta Park on Saturday, January 20. Grab a picnic rug and a bottle of wine, and gather some of your favourite people for the most fun you can have with Mozart and a blanket, probably. The music starts at 8pm.
