"PSYCHO" at the Sydney Opera House (Tim Woods Production)        
"... hearing Bernard Herrmann’s score performed live by the Sydney Lyric Orchestra lent the screening a thrilling immediacy .. the orchestra’s performance was sublime. If, as Hitchcock once said, ‘33% of the effect of Psycho [is] due to the music,’ at least 66% of its effect last night belongs to them. Having seen the film a dozen or so times, for me, they made it surprising again.." artshub.com

Adrian Keating's experience in the recording studio, in contemporary music, as an orchestral manager, and as a Principal Violinist in Australia's premier Opera Orchestra, gives him unique technical and practical insights. Adrian's personal connection to his colleagues ensures the high standard of musicianship and performance of the ensembles he brings together.

With a repertoire of over 100 works for both Opera Australia, and the Australian Ballet, Adrian Keating is a Principal Violinist with the Australian Opera and Ballet Orchestra; he has also been Acting Deputy Concertmaster, Guest Concertmaster, and has led many performances for both Companies.

In 2005, he completed the International Masterclass for Conductors in St Petersburg.

For the Sydney Festival, Adrian led 'the Sydney Opera House Orchestra' for performances with Sir George Martin, Bernadette Peters, Al Jarreau; and has also booked and led orchestras for Australian Tours of David Helfgott; Sir Cliff Richard, and Rod Stewart, in conjunction with AWR Music, Chicago; and was contracted to provide a 75 piece orchestra for a national tour of Little Black Duck production of "Bugs Bunny on Broadway".

In June of 2007, Adrian was contracted to provide the Sydney Lyric Orchestra for the Sydney Tour of the Paris Opera Ballet.

As an improvising violinist, Adrian K has released two Blues CD's, and performed in "Jazz in the Domain". Adrian performs regularly with some of Australia’s leading Contemporary Artists; and also writes arrangements for live performance and studio recordings.
