    Event description

    This concert is held at Orange Uniting Church


    "He dressed himself in cycling clothes, resplendent to be seen

    He hurried off to town and bought a shiny new machine" -- Banjo Paterson

    Join choirs from the Orange Regional Conservatorium and the Sydney Children's Choir for a delightful evening of song.

    Songs herald emerging technology from over the centuries. The Cutty Sark was known as the fastest sailing ship of its time, built in Scotland in 1869, and Stephen Leek's setting tells of travels in strange harbours. Luke Byrne's Travelling Companion takes its inspiration from satellite replicas of the Cold War era, displayed in the furthest corner of the of Sydney's Powerhouse Museum. And the Sydney Children's Choir perform a choral setting of Mulga Bill's Bicycle, based on the poem by Banjo Paterson, about the man who turns away his "good old horse" in favour of a shiny new machine at the forefront technological advancement: the bicycle.
