We lost
David Bowie, the musician featured on millions of playlists across generations, in January 2016. In a symphonic tribute to his dynamic musical legacy, our Sydney Symphony Orchestra will be joined by a cast of our most talented Australian musicians for 3 special events at the Sydney Opera House in May.
After David's sudden passing, hundreds of celebrities shared their memories of his pioneering music. His latest album, Blackstar, topped worldwide music charts and his extensive back catalogue of 26 albums, some decades old, also returned to the music charts. Hits including Changes, China Girl, Life on Mars, Under Pressure, Let's Dance and more will be performed live during this uplifting tribute.
Also a charismatic actor, David starred in over 20 films, choosing unconventional roles to explore and test his creativity, including the intriguing inventor, Nikola Tesla in The Prestige, the Goblin King in Labyrinth and Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ. Watch him in Labyrinth:
Universally respected as a musical genius, Bowie's legacy has stretched into the heavens, inspiring achievers in the realms of science, spirituality and the arts to create and discover. Astronauts, sailing through space, shared a personal tribute from Chris Hadfield, the Canadian astronaut, sharing the emotional message of one of David's most popular songs which quickly enjoyed millions of views:
To design a truly Australian tribute,
iOTA, Tim Rogers, Steve Kilbey, Deborah Conway, Adalita and
Jack Ladder will join the
Sydney Symphony Orchestra to perform our favourite David Bowie hits. After decades of performing to live Australian audiences, these talented musicians should create a memorable tribute to one of music's greats.
