Current News
Due to covid-19 safe distancing guidelines, we have been unable to meet as a full orchestra for quite a long time. So what have BHSO musicians been doing recently?
Our string players have been working hard on a set of string-centred repertoire over the past few weeks, under the baton of conducting fellow Amanda Kye Tan.
We’ve just finished a recording of Edward Elgar’s Serenade for Strings, and can’t wait to share the final works with you!
Stay tuned!
Cinema Paradiso
12 September 2021 – Braddell Heights Symphony Orchestra presents the theme from Cinema Paradiso. Due to Safe Distancing Measures, our late music director, Adrian Tan, rehearsed this piece with 24 string players with the intention to record it in Aug 2021. He departed before he could record it with us.
As a tribute to Adrian, we invited past and present members and friends of BHSO to come together and complete this recording. Thank you, Adrian, for everything you have done for BHSO.
