Lime Cordiale with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra

Join Lime Cordiale on this transformative emotional journey at the Sydney Opera House, together with the Sydney Symphony Orchestra.

Together with conductor Vanessa Scammell and arranger Alex Turley, the band have dug through their entire catalogue and selected a killer setlist to give the symphonic treatment to. 

Say the band: “With a cello-playing mum, we grew up playing classical clarinet and trumpet. The band came together while I was studying at the Conservatorium, and playing in concert bands and orchestras was a big part of Lime Cordiale’s beginnings. 

This is a major bucket-list tick for us. It’s scary and intimidating, but our inner band nerds are all for it! We can’t wait to dive into some epic orchestral arrangements of our songs.” 

Don’t miss this once-in-a-lifetime event with the Sydney Symphony at the Sydney Opera House!
