About The Whitlams with Sydney Philharmonic
The Whitlams were the first Australian indie band to perform with Australia's finest orchestras back in 2004, and the show has developed in the ensuing 20 years as new albums have been written and released.
This retrospective performance of the band's career will see the Sydney Philharmonic share centre stage, playing a wide palate of styles written by many of Australia's finest composers. Tim Freedman's friendship with the late Peter Sculthorpe is marked by two gorgeous arrangements, and full symphonic treatments have been provided by MSO Principal Conductor Benjamin Northey, Sean O'Boyle, Iain Grandage, Daniel Denholm, Jamie Messenger, and this performance’s conductor Nicholas Buc.
Classic compositions including "No Aphrodisiac" and "Blow Up the Pokies" will be joined by highlights of The Whitlams' 2020s resurgence with a song from each of the two recent albums, "Sancho" (2022), and the Americana influenced, "Kookaburra" (2024).
