Following the success of their joint concert last year, the Sale City Band and the Latrobe Orchestra are again joining forces to present what will be an unforgettable cinematic concert spectacular – Movie Music Matinee.
From the soaring scores of Hollywood classics to the pulse-pounding themes of modern favourites, this special collaboration brings the magic of the movies to life with a full symphonic sound. Whether you’re a fan of epic adventures, animated wonders, or timeless tales, there’s something for everyone.
Highlights from the program include music from the stirring Dam Busters March, the 1960 film theme of The Magnificent Seven, the Star Wars theme, Pirates of the Caribbean and
Toy Story.
Director of the Latrobe Orchestra, Colin Iversen, made the point that community music in Gippsland is very much alive and well and this concert again demonstrates how music brings people together with joy and common purpose.
The 53-member Latrobe Orchestra draws players from across Gippsland, ranging from Briagolong to Maffra to Sale to Traralgon and even Leongatha, with the Sale City Band also similarly drawing its membership from across the region.
Tom Cousin, director of the Sale City Band, noted the growth in membership since COVID of both the band and orchestra, an indication of how music connects people, both as players and listeners.
Both ensembles are in top form for the concert and look forward to lifting the roof.
This special concert takes place in the Sale Memorial Hall at 3pm on Sunday, July 27, with tickets available online at the Shout For Good website.
