It was a sunny day on campus on 6 November when students suddenly heard a few notes from a strangely familiar melody and wandered over to the Atkinson Forum on Curtin\u2019s Bentley Campus to find out what was happening.<\/p>\n
They found people, who had lined up for free fairy floss near Building 103, watching cellist Sophie Curtis play a selection of melodies by Bach, presumably either busking or rehearsing.<\/p>\n
As people lounged on the grass all around her, she finished Bach and dove into the first bar of the Ode to Joy section of Beethoven\u2019s Ninth Symphony. Thirty seconds later, a parade of basses and cellos came out of the Hayman Theatre\u2019s side entrance, the space surrounding Sophie filling up with chairs, orchestra members and music stands.<\/p>\n
