Darwin Symphony Orchestra’s ambitious 2025 season includes its first Territory-wide tour in a decade and the premiere of a formidable new work for Darwin Festival. This will also mark the final year for current Artistic Director/Chief Conductor Jonathan Tooby, who has taken the adage about leaving at the top of one’s game to heart.
“The orchestra is in such a fine position both artistically and structurally. It’s been an incredible six and a half years til now, which I’ve really enjoyed, but I guess fundamental to my beliefs as an Artistic Director is that I think organisations need to go through change, need to have new directions and perspectives placed upon them, just to keep them relevant,” Tooby tells ArtsHub.
