“We’ve just seen a wonderful display here in Canberra tonight of culture, of creativity, and dedication. Really terrific show—a sharing of ideas across the seas.”

“I think the combination of just colour, energy, and cultural sharing was just the highlight of tonight’s show. It’s great to have it here in Canberra. We saw a great audience turnout, the house was full tonight, and I think everybody’s had a great time. … It’s a great opportunity to see something different.”

“It [the orchestra] was terrific, an interesting combination for me, something new in terms of both traditional instruments and I guess, modern orchestral instruments. Something you don’t see very often.”
