A diverse and entertaining selection of stage and screen masterpieces have been carefully selected in order to cater to all generations of music lovers.

All four St. Cecilia String Orchestras will perform, as well as selected soloists.

For the first time, there will also be several duos taking to the stage.

Organiser Michael Stocks said the concert was designed to show the role of music telling stories

“I have invited some of Launceston’s finest young musicians to contribute to the programme in a way that I hope will allow the audience to realise just how important the contribution of music has been to both Stage and Screen over the years,” he said.

“Some of the songs date back as far as 1894, but the concert focuses more on popular movies and theatre over the past two decades,” he said.   

The show’s ensemble includes Cellist Denni Sulzberger, as well as violinists Eric March, Clay Ritchie, Georgia Hillier, Evangeline Chalk and Michael Stocks, who will all feature in various combinations.

They will present popular works from operas such as ‘Thaïs’ and ‘Lakmé’ as well as modern hits such as Adelle’s Skyfall and Por Una Cabeza, a piece that has featured in films such as Scent of a Woman and True Lies.

Stocks said the set list has a broad appeal.

“The audience is bound to be entertained by dramatic overtures, beautiful ballads and classic songs that have graced theatres around the world,” he said

“Our Stage and Screen Concert will be an entertaining evening for music lovers of all ages.”
