Classical Tracks: Australian Boys Choir
The Australian Boys Choir is a not-for-profit organisation recognised internationally for its high musical standards. Its performance program is supported by a world-class education program designed to help boys and young men achieve their potential, both musical and personal.
The Classical Tracks program will highlight the Choir’s favourite pieces from its 75 year history.
The Choir has worked under acclaimed international conductors, including Zubin Mehta, Jorge Mester, Hiroyuki Iwaki, Noam Sheriff, John Hopkins, Richard Divall and Sir Bernard Heinze. Performances have also been given with the Israel Philharmonic and Melbourne Symphony Orchestras.
The Choir has released four CDs, regularly appeared on radio and television and contributed to the sound tracks of several internationally acclaimed films, including the Oscar nominated film ‘Elizabeth’, and ‘The Dish’.
Classical Tracks 2014 brings together sumptuous music and virtuoso performances in the sublime setting of the yarra ranges’ very best performance spaces. Think crisp winter days, hazelnuts roasting on open fires, towering mountain ash and rows of vines rolling through verdant valleys – all combined with the best classical music in Australia. Every Sunday afternoon throughout winter we’re bringing you some of the best known classical ensembles and performers in the country.
Whatever your taste in classical music, we have something for you. Sundays in winter have never sounded so good.

Just the Ticket
‘So here I am – with the same dream and the same rucksack... but with 40 years of extra baggage!’
Meet Susan – she’s scatty, chatty and in a league of her own.
Life may have left her friends looking forward to their next facelift, the arrival of grandchildren, or a shred of gossip about the neighbours, but Susan dreams of escape.
To hell with middle age! She’s off to relive the fun of her younger years.
Eccentric, clumsy and unwaveringly optimistic, for Susan the only way forward is back. She wants to feel alive again, to be on the edge – and preferably, seated at the bar. She packs her bag and heads to Sydney to retrace the steps of a holiday she took with friends years ago. Determined to have as much fun as in her 20s, Susan’s adventures lead her back to old ground… but is it like old times?
‘I’m living it. Whatever it is. Not just existing – living. There’s a big difference. Don’t sip it. Drink it.’
Just the Ticket is written by West End and Broadway playwright Peter Quilter (End of the Rainbow, Duets), who’s work has been translated into 27 languages and performed in over 40 countries.
