The Logan City Symphony Orchestra concludes its four-concert journey through space, place, and time with a celebration of celestial bodies — a Celestation!The program opens with the blazing trumpet call and rising crescendo of Richard Strauss’s iconic Also sprach Zarathustra: Sunrise, immortalised in Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey. Without pause, the music moves into Hans Zimmer’s sweeping score from Interstellar, enveloping the hall in vast, atmospheric soundscapes that evoke infinite space and the quiet awe of the universe beyond.
We then celebrate a young Logan composer from the Logan City Orchestra’s Young Composer Project, presenting the World Premiere of a work for orchestra that offers a bold and imaginative response to Celestation!
Peter Sculthorpe’s powerful Earth Cry follows, featuring didgeridoo: a profound lament and celebration of Country that grounds us in place and timeless spirit.
Finally, as full darkness falls, Gustav Holst’s monumental The Planets carries us outward through the solar system — from the quicksilver mischief of Mercury and the ferocious drive of Mars to the mystic stillness of Neptune. This epic voyage aligns perfectly with the arrival of night itself.
At the concert’s close, you’ll be invited to step outside the Logan Entertainment Centre and look upward — connecting the music just heard with the real stars now visible above—a breathtaking reminder of the space, place, and time we all share.
Whether you’re discovering these masterworks for the first time or returning to music that lifts you beyond the everyday, join us for this unforgettable finale to a year of extraordinary music-making by the LCSO.
