Our 2027 season is built on connections. Four concerts, four journeys — and at the heart of each, musicians who have grown up with this orchestra. From a cellist who first soloed with us at sixteen to a composer who learned our sound from the inside, this is a season that celebrates the magic that happens within a community of music.

2027 Season Details:

• Da da da dum (10 & 11 April): Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5 — four notes that changed music forever. One of the most recognised openings in classical music, paired with the blazing energy of Beethoven’s Prometheus Overture and Haydn’s effervescent Cello Concerto with Kenichi Misushima who returns for his third SSO appearance — first soloed with us at just sixteen. Experience the full force of a live orchestra driving those famous knocks from darkness into blazing light!
• Fate (3 & 4 July): Tchaikovsky’s emotionally raw Fourth Symphony — a battle between soul and destiny. Before that storm, a world premiere by one of our own: Matthew Chin’s Waltz, written with the sound of this ensemble in his ears. Then James Hillier steps from our own flute section into the solo spotlight for Nielsen’s mercurial Flute Concerto. Home-grown talent, front and centre.
• Witches (25 & 26 September): Enter at your own risk. A night of shadows, spells, and things that creep in the dark — from Stravinsky’s Rite of Spring to Saint-Saëns’s Danse Macabre, Dvořák’s Printemps (The Noon Witch), and Mussorgsky’s terrifying Baba Yaga to close. Bring a friend. Hold their hand.
• Folklores (27 & 28 November): Stories from the fireside, a journey through the myths and melodies of Eastern Europe — Glinka’s blazing Russian overture Ruslan i Lyudmila, Borodin’s exotic Polovtsian Dances, Smetana’s tale of vengeance Sarka, and Kodály’s riotous Háry János Suite. Colourful, tuneful, and utterly transporting.
