Film scores become the main event
Queensland Symphony Orchestra's Cinematic returned to QPAC's Concert Hall on 22 and 23 November 2024, with Nicholas Buc conducting and hosting. The series brought film music out from behind the screen and into a concert programme built around the orchestra itself.
For audiences, that changes the point of attention. The strings, brass, percussion and individual players responsible for familiar cinematic sounds are visible in the room, with the host connecting the selections into a concert experience.
Lighting design installed above the orchestra
Krank'd delivered both the lighting design and the installation for the performances. The rig spanned the stage above the orchestra, placing the lighting within the Concert Hall's existing performance setting.
The design supported the changing character of the film scores while keeping the musicians central to the view. Working across both design and installation allowed the stage arrangement and its lighting positions to be considered as one production.
This concert sits within our continuing work with QSO, from the physical collaboration with Circa in The Rite of Spring to the chevron rig created for Art of the Score: The Music of Hans Zimmer in 2025.
