It’s hard to imagine great movies without their equally great soundtracks. Modern composers have set the tone for countless films, including John Williams for ‘Star Wars’ and the ‘ Harry Potter’ series, or Ennio Morricone for ‘The Mission’, from which the Queensland Symphony Orchestra will perform the famous melody, ‘Gabriel’s Oboe’.

So expressive, so vital to the meaning of the movie, is it any wonder that concert composers have always been drawn to writing with stopwatch in hand and silent rushes on the screen before them? Net result? Melodies so sublime, and orchestral showpieces so exhilarating, that they define the music of our times.

A school holiday special event for the whole family.
