Chamber favourites and Australian premieres adorn a programme that features new collaborations and old friends.

The Omega Ensemble has announced its 2018 season, which will feature a slew of well-loved chamber works from Beethoven to Debussy as well as a series of Australian premieres and contemporary works. The ensemble will be joined by new guests and old friends across two main series – the Virtuoso series at City Recital Hall and the Master Series at the Utzon Room.
