Aussie rock veterans The Angels will team up with the Adelaide Art Orchestra for one night only. I’m sure there have been more unlikely pairings, but I can’t think of one offhand!
While most of us wonder how the lads’ brand of rock will sound with symphonic backing, the Brewster Brothers say it’s the perfect fit.
“John and I grew up surrounded by classical music. Our father and both his parents were all classical musicians – performing, composing, teaching and conducting,” Rick Brewster said in a statement. “These early influences have remained with us throughout our careers and we are at last about to realise our dream of one day performing our own music with an orchestra. It will add a whole new dimension to it”.
“It’s a very exciting and challenging prospect and I hope the end result is agreeable to the ancestors if they’re listening … they’re a hard bunch to please! This one’s for Dad, Gran & Bopo, I will definitely ‘make the melody sing’!”
The Angels will play Adelaide’s Festival Theatre with the city’s Art Orchestra on April 17. Tickets are available from the venue.
