The Angels will once again perform The Symphony of Angels with a full orchestra for Sydney and Melbourne.
The 2019 event is under the musical direction of conductor and composer Rob John, with Rick and John Brewster, Nick Norton, Sam Brewster and fronted Dave Gleeson.
The Angels perform Symphony of Angels with 35 musicians on stage in July in Adelaide. They first performed the concept when Doc Neeson was alive in 2010.
“Classical music was embedded in John and me from an early age,” says Rick Brewster. “I studied classical piano throughout my school years and it was all I knew until I started learning guitar. Our songwriting reflected our background, mixing rock with classical melodies. We always knew the sound of an orchestra could bring another rich dimension and after all these years this came to fruition with the Symphony Of Angels.”
“I remember when the band recorded Rick’s song Mr Damage way back in 1979, Rick and I were singing violin and brass parts on playback, and saying ‘wouldn’t this be great with an orchestra’,” John Brewster added. “Sadly, we never knew our grandfather Hooper, who died just four months before I was born, but we were aware of his musical legacy. Our dad would bring visiting musicians over and sometimes they would play in our house, beautiful sounds bouncing off the walls. We never thought one day we would marry our music with classical players, we could only dream.”
