Description
The Southern Highlands Symphony Orchestra (SHSO) was formed in 2014 as a result of overwhelming interest in establishing a symphony orchestra in the region. The founding Artistic Director and Conductor is Dr Allan Stiles.
Our mission is to provide live performances of music at a high standard. Over 60 musicians from the Highlands and surrounding districts, make up the SHSO. The orchestra includes: professional musicians, semi-professional musicians as well as other highly qualified musicians who cover a range of professions including: law, medicine, IT, media, teaching and publishing. Music students are invited to attend rehearsals.
The orchestra has now become a significant feature of the educational and cultural life in the Southern Highlands.
The orchestra has performed many premiere performances by Australian composers.
Soloists from the region, overseas and nationally have performed with the orchestra.
The SHSO has four concert series a year
