love is love

Love is Love celebrates queer composers in a program that offers colour, storytelling, and rhythmic energy.

Britten’s The Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra pays homage to Baroque composer Henry Purcell and shows off the tone colours and capacities of different sections of the orchestra. Tchaikovsky and Bernstein then offer two very different perspectives on Shakespeare’s tragic love story Romeo and Juliet. The concert also features the world premiere of Pulse by Brisbane-based composer Joe Twist.
