AUSCO Presents:

🩰 Get ready for an evening of drama, romance, and unforgettable orchestral colour... 🎻

We are thrilled to present A Night at the Ballet; a concert celebrating the music that has moved dancers and audiences alike for centuries, from fiery Spanish folk rhythms to the tragic grandeur of star-crossed lovers and enchanted swans. Enjoy a rich and dramatic programme featuring Rimsky-Korsakov's dazzling Capriccio Espagnol, Finzi's tender Romance for Strings, Prokofiev's brooding Montagues and Capulets, and Tchaikovsky's iconic Swan Lake, closing the evening with its unforgettable Scène Finale.
