Queensland Symphony Orchestra

Posted by Sas Lyon

The Arts Centre Gold Coast and Gold Coast Film Festival presents Queensland Symphony Orchestra.

It’s hard to imagine great movies without their equally great soundtracks—that monumental swell of Saharan grandeur in Lawrence of Arabia, the epic, evocative theme of Gone with the Wind, the ominous acceleration of rhythm as jaws emerge from the depths below.

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.
