The Student Music Collective present their first performance of 2026, ‘An Evening of Elegance’.

Beethoven’s 8th Symphony marks the centerpiece of this curation, providing a well-balanced hour of strength, whimsy and beauty. Alongside this masterpiece, we present a performance of Mendelssohn’s timeless ‘Die Hebriden’ overture, and Faure’s enchanting orchestral ‘Pavane’.

We welcome back William Newbery to the podium, a rising conductor in Tasmania regularly working with the Secret Orchestral Society, alongside Miaw Yng Lim as concertmaster after her debut as leader in ‘Premiere Rhapsodie’ in October 2025. SMC also welcomes a range of new and existing members, showcasing the rising musicians studying at the University of Tasmania’s recently re-established Conservatorium of Music, alongside other members of the UTAS and broader Hobart classical music scene.

Join us for an hour of orchestral bliss on May 10th at 5pm for ‘An Evening of Elegance’.
