The music of the silver screen will fill the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall for an afternoon of orchestral magic this month.
The Moorabool Light Orchestra – composed entirely of local musicians – will perform a range of film soundtrack pieces, ranging from Old Hollywood classics to modern hits and everything in between.
Moorabool Light Orchestra conductor Reuben Morgan said the event provides a history of cinema through music.
“I’ve selected pieces of music from throughout history, starting with movies like Gone with the Wind and Wizard of Oz, tracking all the way to the present with music from films like How to Train your Dragon and Pirates of the Caribbean,” Morgan said.
“And so in between, we sort of cover a bit of everything – music from superhero movies, space operas … Star Wars, Batman, western … just covering a bit of everything as well as telling the story of how film music has developed over the last century.
“It promises to be a very fun concert – we’re trying to keep it as engaging as possible. It’s got something for everyone [and is] definitely friendly for kids.”
The group will also be joined by powerhouse solo vocalist Izzy Farrah.
Titled At the Movies, the event will be hosted from 2–4pm on Sunday, September 28, at the Bacchus Marsh Public Hall, with tickets and pricing available online.
The orchestra is also welcoming new members and those interested in joining are encouraged to attend this event to introduce themselves and witness the group in action.
