The Australian Chamber Orchestra is presenting a series of limited gala performances of their groundbreaking and award-winning cinematic collaboration, Mountain. Premiering in 2017, Mountain explores the relationship between music and nature in an innovative way.
Originally perceived as perilous, mountains have transformed into majestic landscapes that captivate us. This collaboration features the work of BAFTA-nominated director and filmmaker Jennifer Peedom (Sherpa, River), who, along with Richard Tognetti, curated stunning footage and soundscapes that reveal the serenity, magnitude, and terror of these breathtaking environments.
The film is enhanced by narration from celebrated British writer Robert Macfarlane and voiced by award-winning actor Willem Dafoe, creating a visceral and immersive musical journey through extraordinary sights. Experience this unique ACO classic featuring music by Antonio Vivaldi, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Peter Sculthorpe, and Richard Tognetti.
The Australian Chamber Orchestra are bringing back one of their most groundbreaking, award-winning and popular cinematic collaborations for a series of limited gala performances After more than a decade of producing films,Mountainpremiered in 2017 as one of our boldest explorations of music and nature. Only three centuries ago, the idea scarcely existed that wild landscapes might hold any sort of attraction. Mountains were places of peril, not beauty. An upper world to be shunned, not sought out. Now they hold us spellbound, drawing us into their dominion, often at the cost of our lives. Created in collaboration with BAFTA-nominated director and filmmakerJennifer Peedom(Sherpa2015,River2021),Mountainpushed the creative possibilities of presenting music and film live in concert in an innovative new direction. Tognetti and Peedom worked closely to assemble footage and soundscapes that collectively showcased the serenity, magnitude and terror of these jaw dropping landscapes. Music became an equal participant in the cinematic experience. Mountainis shot by the world’s leading high-altitude cinematographers, with narration by celebrated British writer,Robert Macfarlaneand spoken by award-winning actorWillem Dafoe. It is a visceral and immersive musical journey through vistas few have visited, and none have seen quite in this way. Don’t miss this limited opportunity to experience an ACO classic. Mountain: Film live in concert, featuring music byAntonio Vivaldi,Ludwig van Beethoven,Frédéric Chopin,Peter SculthorpeandRichard Tognetti.
