“Sydney Omega Ensemble adds a wonderful dimension to the Sydney music scene. Here are vibrant young players performing an eclectic selection of chamber music to the highest standards. Their commitment to performing the music of Australian composers is also second to none. I witnessed first hand the dedication and skill of SOE in their performance of my new work 'Omega Dance' and look forward to the chance of working with these marvellous musicians again.” - Paul Stanhope
