ACO 50th Anniversary season:

MOUNTAIN

Created in collaboration with BAFTA-nominated director and filmmaker Jennifer Peedom (Sherpa 2015, River 2021), Mountain pushed 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.

Mountain is shot by the world’s leading high-altitude cinematographers, with narration by celebrated British writer, Robert Macfarlane and spoken by award-winning actor Willem Dafoe. It is a visceral and immersive musical journey through vistas few have visited, and none have seen quite in this way.

Mountain: film live in concert, featuring music by Antonio Vivaldi, Ludwig van Beethoven, Frédéric Chopin, Peter Sculthorpe and Richard Tognetti.

Touring to Brisbane, Sydney, Canberra and Melbourne. Tickets from $69, or $35 for under 35s and $25 for students.
