Overview

Presented by Great Barrier Reef Orchestra

Shooting for the Stars is an unforgettable evening with the Great Barrier Reef Orchestra under the baton of internationally acclaimed conductor Theodor Kuchar.

Journey through the elemental power of Sculthorpe’s Earth Cry and the dramatic triumph of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 5.

After the interval, be captivated by the passion of Bruch’s Violin Concerto No. 1 and the sweeping emotion of Gershwin’s Porgy and Bess, arranged by Bennett.

This stellar program celebrates resilience, beauty, and the wonder of music that reaches for the skies.
