Description:	Camberwell Chorale presents Michael Easton’s Symphony No. 1 *Unsung Heroes* The Camberwell Chorale and Camerata Orchestra proudly present Michael Easton’s compelling Symphony No.1 Unsung Heroes, a work based on the poetry of six famous English poets who served in WWI, and a personal reflection of the composer on the horror of war and its ultimate uselessness. First written in 1990, this Symphony was specifically dedicated by the composer to Camberwell Chorale and its Musical Director, Douglas Heywood. This performance is in recognition of the 80th Anniversary of the end of WWII, and will feature soloists: Lauren Oldham (soprano) Adam Miller (baritone) Also on the program will be a wonderful presentation of Rachmaninoff’s glorious *Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini Op.43, which was composed in 1934 and inspired by a work of the early 19^th century violin virtuoso, Niccolo Paganini. For this performance we proudly welcome soloist Chutong Yi, Winner of the Piano Concerto Competition at the 2024 Boroondara Eisteddfod. Conductor - Douglas Heywood OAM*
