Olivia Chindamo | Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra

Mesmerising and entirely original.

Jazz meets orchestra when silky-toned Oliva Chindamo performs the vocal honours in a piece penned by her father, Joe Chindamo. Fantaskatto is a masterclass of scat singing, bringing improvised vocal instrumentalising to the orchestra for a unique and scintillating performance.

Framing Joe Chindamo’s classic-in-the-making are two established classics of American music. ‘Times Square’ by Leonard Bernstein captures the hustle and bustle of midtown Manhattan, while Catfish Rowby George Gershwin blends a suite of famous tunes from Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess into a swirling symphonic medley.
