Knox Wind Symphony are proud to present “Sonic Discoveries”; a journey of musical textures to find inspiration in the most surprising of places.

The program will explore the natural world, myths, and legends using compositions specifically written for wind bands.

Though there is familiarity in themes and ideas, the music itself will be unknown to many.

Stories will be told both delicately and boisterously under the conducting of Danny van Bergen, featuring pieces written by Australian and international composers. 

All tickets $5 and includes a free choc top!
