Following a series of sell out performances at The Sydney Opera House, The Storytellers Ensemble will share contemporary Tango music from Argentinian composer Astor Piazzolla and his contemporaries.

The Storytellers Ensemble
The Storytellers Ensembles’ artists have been collaborating for the past year. They presented their inaugural concert at the iconic Sydney Opera House in January 2022, to a sold out Utzon Room. Since then, they’ve been receiving accolades and reviews for their exciting program, engaging style and captivating stage presence.

Their ‘sell out’ trend is continuing with concerts in Canberra and Hibernian House in Sydney presenting Piazzolla A Century of Tango, and another appearance at SOH, with works by Johannes Brahms.

Richard Bonynge Ensemble
Established in 2021, the Richard Bonynge Ensemble (RBE) is an elite ensemble comprising some of the finest young talents from Penrith Conservatorium of Music and Penrith Youth Orchestra.

Through the integration of experienced musicians and mentors alongside young, talented instrumentalists, the ensemble aims to create its own distinctive style and unique culture. It also aims to train the next generation of classical musicians.

In December 2021, the ensemble gave its first public performance at the unveiling of the commissioned portrait of Maestro Richard Bonynge AC, CBE by Australian artist Mathew Lynn at the Joan Sutherland Performing Arts Centre.
