This concert marks a significant milestone for Orchestra Nova. We are thrilled to feature two special guest conductors: John Kellaway, who has led the orchestra throughout this term, and Ross Fiddes, both of whom played a pivotal role in founding O.N. (then known as the Novocastrian Arts Orchestra) in the ‘90s. They will be joined by our returning assistant conductor, Stephen Aveling-Rowe.

Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 concession and $5 for children, and will be available for purchase online via Sticky Tickets or at the door.
