This program explores the events and places behind Tchaikovsky's 1812 Overture, performed by the SBS Youth Orchestra. Tragically, Napoleon's folly of 1812 proved to be a harbinger of what was to follow 130 years later: on the same ground where 80,000 men lost their lives in a single day, trenches were again being dug, as Adolf Hitler invaded the Soviet Union in 1941.
Living legend of Australian jazz, James Morrison, talks about, rehearses and premieres a new composition by Judy Bailey called 'Four Reasons' - a jazz concerto for trumpet, trombone, euphonium and flugelhorn.
Written in the middle of the '60s. Leonard Bernstein's Chichester Psalms blend his trademark street rhythms with a setting of psalms from the Old Testament. Bernstein's decidedly ecumenical composition is sung here in Hebrew by the combined choirs of Sydney Grammar and Ascham Schools, with the SBS Radio and Television Youth Orchestra and treble Antony Freeman. Christopher Shepard conducts and also takes us on a tour of Bernstein's secular and religious influences. The work ends on an optimistic note: 'Behold how good, and how pleasant it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity' the choirs sing in the final moments.

Peter Sculthorpe, who turned 75 in 2004, is almost certainly Australia's most internationally-recognised composer.

Our young soloists perform outdoors in these locations.
