Guy Noble's Great Tunes

BY QUEENSLAND SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA

A feast of favourite melodies awaits you.

Guy Noble has been hosting Queensland Symphony Orchestra’s Music on Sundays series for 18 years, and has conducted everything from great classics through to rare gems and iconic film music.

To celebrate his long-standing history with this great concert series, we asked him to compile some of his favourite melodies to share with you. It’s a stunning list - from the mystical beauty of the finale of Sibelius’ Fifth Symphony through the sparkle of Nigel Westlake’s beloved soundtrack for the movie Babe. There's even a special solo from our Section Principal Bassoonist Nicole Tait. This will be a morning of music to make you swoon, smile and applaud.

Birdsongs

Raw rock meets refined orchestra.

One of Australia’s most beloved bands is teaming up with Queensland Symphony Orchestra for this electrifying concert.

Enjoy the soaring melodies and raw energy of classic anthems like Plans, Lanterns, Good Lord and Anchor, alongside some new works, all reimagined with stunning orchestral arrangements.

Birds of Tokyo have cemented their place as Australia’s most successful contemporary rock band, capturing the hearts of music fans with three chart-topping albums and multiple appearances on iconic events like the AFL Grand Final while also winning APRA’s ‘Rock Work of the Year’ an extraordinary seven times. But it's their concerts that truly set them apart - from explosive energy to spine-tingling moments of intimacy, Birds of Tokyo are captivating live performers whose sweeping and dynamic songs are ideally suited to orchestral interpretations.
