The theme for this year is Superfamous, with engaging conductor Guy Noble taking the audience on a nonstop journey through the music that has thrilled audiences for decades.

Gladstone Region Councillor Glenn Churchill said the free Symphony Under the Stars concert will hit the Marina Stage from 7pm on Friday 2 September.

“This concert is not only for musical lovers, but for all those people new to classical music who just want to hear the really famous pieces,” Councillor Churchill said.

“Superfamous is exactly what it sounds like – excerpts from some of the most famous pieces ever written, all in one show.

“This year marks the 10th Symphony Under the Stars concert in the Port City and it’s fantastic to have the highly talented Queensland Symphony Orchestra back in our region.

“Music is great for the mind, body and soul, and the GPC Marina Parklands are one of many great open spaces in our region where we can reinvigorate ourselves.

“So, take a chair or a blanket, bring yourself, your friends or your family and head down to watch what promises to be another amazing night of music.”

The concert will feature works from composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, John Williams and many more, while Gladstone Prodigy Program students will perform side-by-side with 57 QSO musicians in this exciting performance.

Food and beverage vendors will also be on site.

Symphony Under the Stars is supported by Australian Pacific LNG operated by ConocoPhillips, Gladstone Regional Council, Gladstone Entertainment Convention Centre, and Gladstone Ports Corporation.
