Sydney Symphony Orchestra: Swing On This
Digital Season | Recorded in the Concert Hall in 2018
On Demand
Genre: Contemporary Music
“Swung, sealed and delivered, this is a tight show on every level, with powerful delivery and timing being everything”
Australian Stage
Swing on This is an encore presentation paying tribute to the late Michael Falzon. The production brought together some of Australia’s leading stage and screen stars and the Sydney Symphony with their take on all-time swing classics.
Michael Falzon (We Will Rock You, The War of the Worlds Arena Tour), Luke Kennedy (The Voice, The Ten Tenors), Rob Mills (Wicked, Ghost the Musical) and Ben Mingay (Wonderland, House of Bond) deliver a modern and audacious take on all-time swing classics from Sinatra to Bublé and featuring well-swung interpretations of hits from Oasis, John Farnham and The Proclaimers.
