Hear your favourite movie themes live
From the earliest days of the film industry right through until now, great films have been accompanied by great film scores. In fact, it’s impossible to think about many films without hearing their themes. Consider Gone With The Wind, Jaws, The Magnificent Seven, Star Wars. All you need is a few bars of an iconic film score and you’re fighting stormtroopers, escaping a giant shark, saving Tara.
Music isn’t just there to fill aural space; it enhances emotion, builds tension, creates ambience.
“Music can transport us to adventure, suspense, tragedy, romance, and sheer magic. All it takes is to hear that music again and we are taken back to the stories that thrilled us!”
So says Paul Terracini, chief conductor of the Ku-ring-gai Philharmonic Orchestra and artistic director of Symphony at the Movies, a celebration of famous film scores played live.
Featuring music from prestigious film composers including by John Williams, Ennio Morricone, Nino Rota, Danny Elfman, Hans Zimmer, Monty Norman, Max Steiner, and Paul Terracini himself, Symphony at the Movies will fill you with nostalgia, joy, excitement.
Let your eardrums recreate movie magic in a magnificent auditorium with a live symphony orchestra.

Listen to the music that tells the stories.
