- **Event Name**: The Whitlams with Canberra Symphony Orchestra | Canberra Theatre Centre, ACT, QLD
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 09 May, 2026 at 09:30 am (+10:00)
- **Event Description**: The Whitlams joins the Canberra Symphony Orchestra in a performance of its renowned symphonic collaboration on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 May 2026. The show debuted in 2004, and has developed in style and complexity as new albums have been released.  

This retrospective will see the orchestra share centre stage, playing a wide palate of styles written by many of Australia's finest composers. Notably, Tim Freedman's friendship with the late Peter Sculthorpe is marked by two gorgeous arrangements.

Classic compositions including "No Aphrodisiac" and "Blow Up the Pokies" will be joined by highlights of The Whitlams' 2020s resurgence with a song from each of the two recent albums, "Sancho" (2022), and Americana influenced, “Kookaburra" (2024).  

"...the kind of arrangements which assume intelligence not just on stage but in the audience. It's wit and risk and flair." Sydney Morning Herald 

"...superbly orchestrated with a sophistication of sound rare in a pop gig." The Age
