Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Cocktail Hour with Rosemary Curtin
30 January 2026 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm AEDT

Mozart’s music is like Shakespeare’s words: often borrowed and adapted, but never losing its magic.
Viola player Rosemary Curtin has chosen a program of Mozart’s work adapted by later composers, the centrepiece an arrangement of his Sinfonia Concertante, K364 for just six instruments. In this lean and spirited version, the joy and brilliance of Mozart’s original shines ever brighter.
These intimate one-hour chamber music concerts in the Utzon Room showcase our musicians in a different setting, allowing the deep connections between them to be heard on a smaller scale.
Hosted by Genevieve Lang, each concert has been curated by one of our musicians, making for a showcase of their instrument and giving you deeper insight into their personalities.
