Queensland Symphony Orchestra releases stunning season video that could just be the best tourism promotion ever!
A solo oboe in the outback, a brass trio on the beach and a string quartet in the rainforest… for the state’s leading music maker, Queensland Symphony Orchestra (QSO) has just created possibly the best tourism video ever!
QSO’s Season 2023 shines the light on music AND celebrates some of the state’s most beautiful and iconic locations – from the beach to the rainforest, and the Outback to the city.
Sounds Like Queensland is the Orchestra’s love letter to Queensland with musicians filmed on country in Iningai (Longreach), Minjerribah (Stradbroke Island), Maiala (Mt Glorious) and Meanjin (Brisbane). It features a specially commissioned piece of music by Cameron Patrick, performed by QSO and conducted by Peter Luff.
Specific locations include:
- Longreach / Iningai: at the Western Queensland Livestock Exchange, Lily Lagoon, the railway and paddocks and Starlight’s Lookout.
- Mt Glorious / Maiala: in D’Aguilar National Park along the rainforest circuit
- Stradbroke Island / Minjerribah: at Main Beach, Cylinder Beach, Sunset Point and South Gorge Beach.
- Brisbane / Meanjin: at Kangaroo Point Cliffs at the river’s edge and at New Farm Riverwalk.
Musicians include Huw Jones (Oboe), Rainer Saville (Trumpet), Lauren Manuel (French Horn), Ashley Carter (Trombone), Matthew Kinmont (Cello), Nicholas Tomkin (Viola), Joshua De Marchi (Cymbols) (Trombone), and Violinists Mia Stanton and Natalie Low.
