Sydney Symphony Orchestra to Celebrate Legacy of David Bowie

The Sydney Symphony Orchestra will celebrate the rich musical legacy of legendary British singer-songwriter David Bowie with Australian music industry icons at the Sydney Opera House in two concerts conducted by Benjamin Northey, announced today.

David Bowie: Nothing Has Changed will see artists iOTA, Tim Rogers, Steve Kilbey, Deborah Conway, Adalita and Jack Ladder join the SSO in the Concert Hall on 19 & 21 May to perform hits from the Bowie cannon personally selected by the performers.

Singer-songwriter iOTA says Bowie was the best at everything he aspired to: "Bowie had amazing depth and he didn't disappoint even to the very end," says the Sydney-based artist. "He came to the end of an amazing life with a lot of class and integrity. He's taught other artists how to be in the world and how to do it right."

David Bowie: Nothing Has Changed will feature approximately 30 songs including some of Bowie's most popular hits such as Changes, China Girl, Life on Mars, Under Pressure, Let's Dance, Starman and Under Pressure.
