“I personally love playing in regional areas, much more than playing in the city,” says Nicole van Bruggen, one of the co-founders of ARCO – the Australian Romantic & Classical Orchestra – and one of a quintet of leading players from the group on tour across the NSW South Coast this spring.
At the heart of the program is the famous Mozart clarinet quintet in A major, composed in the late 18th Century, with Nicole on the clarinet. The tour starts off at the Jervis Bay Maritime Museum in Huskisson, on Saturday 18 October.
“When we go to regional areas, people really appreciate that we’re there. I feel like it’s so much more impactful for us as performers and educators. It’s really one of my favourite things to do.”
