Symphony of Australia- Partnership Opportunity

 The 'Symphony of Australia' is a remarkable, Australiana-themed musical production coming to Cassegrain Winery at Port Macquarie on Sunday 7 June. A unique concert event that is a fusion of iconic Australian bush poetry, an exhilarating orchestral ensemble, and soaring vocals, the Symphony of Australia will be an uplifting and unforgettable occasion. It is the best-loved bush ballads brought to life in song, featuring classic poetry from Banjo Paterson, Dorothea Mackellar and Henry Lawson, combined with a cascade of stirring and emotive musical accompaniment from a full orchestra and international opera stars.
As a special offer to local businesses, any company that purchases 10 tickets will receive event sponsorship benefits, entailing an additional 2 free tickets, and including branding and web links on the event website, signage opportunities within the event precinct, and ongoing announcements of acknowledgement from the stage.
