    Schubert’s Fantasy & Octet

    Australian Chamber Orchestra: Schubert’s Fantasy & Octet

    Llewellyn Hall Building 100, William Herbert Pl, Canberra, ACT, Australia

    Sea and Stars

    Canberra Symphony Orchestra: Sea and Stars

    Llewellyn Hall Building 100, William Herbert Pl, Canberra, ACT, Australia
    Look up at night and you’ll see the stars – tiny fires in the sky.
