Pink Floyd fans in Australia who
fancy seeing something a bit different next month, and perhaps with
Roger Waters' recent comments about classical music in the interesting
BBC documentary, in their minds, have got a night out to consider.

| ACO's Traveller's show |
The highly rated Australian
Chamber Orchestra are staging a tour of shows, The Travellers, which
features a Pink Floyd classic as one of the headlining pieces to be
performed.
One of the performances is at the world famous Sydney Opera
House (surely an ideal venue for Roger's Ca Ira at some point in the
future?).
The organisers have said that
"Shine on you Crazy Diamond provides audiences with a different way of
exploring music and is an exciting, dynamic orchestral piece to be
included in the first program of the Orchestra’s 30th birthday year."
Certainly the piece lends itself
to an orchestral rendition, and with the pedigree of the performers,
should be an interesting show.
