In the 1970s….

The South Australian Symphony Orchestra reverted to its original name, the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra, in 1975.  After the Adelaide Festival Centre was opened in 1973, the Subscription Concerts moved to the Adelaide Festival Theatre.  February was Proms month at the Adelaide Town Hall during the 1970s.  The seats were cleared from the stalls area and the promenaders sat on whatever they brought with them, including mattresses!
