The FSO opens its 2025/26 season with an exciting programme of music from the worlds of opera and ballet, coupled with the UK premiere of the Phoenix Concerto by Australian composer, John Carmichael. Joining us to perform this latter work is young flautist, Freddy Branson, who was the winner of the 2024 Marina Piccinini International Concerto Competition.

Following the success of last year's concert, Freddy Branson is returning to Camberwell Grammar with Darby Lee for an afternoon of music! The repertoire will cover a wide range of genres and favourites including Bolling's "Jazz Suite", Chaminade's "Concertino", and Liebermann's "Sonata for Flute and Piano", as well as a composition by Darby himself.
