The concert hall is designed to bring out the best of our orchestra, from our luscious strings to lyrical winds. Brass and percussion complete this acoustic picture – but these instruments are deeply powerful in their own right. It’s why our Brass in St David’s series has become a live music staple in Hobart.
Each year we host two concerts in the Gothic-style Cathedral – an architectural and acoustic marvel in the middle of the city. Its current foundations were laid in 1868, and now our brass and percussion players fill the space with music as colourful as the stained glass windows.
There’s simply no experience like hearing the crystal-clear tone of a trumpet as it slices through the air of an old stone cathedral, or feeling the beat of the timpani as it resonates through your body. We’ll leave you with some insider information: these concerts sell quickly.
