Fun animation, the characters love for cheese and of course, the funky, brassy soundtrack.
The Darebin Brass City-Preston Band is bringing the magic of the show to the Mooroopna stage this week.
A selection of movie music will be performed in addition to the featured work Wallace & Gromit and the wrong trousers live with brass band, including music from the Incredibles, The Lord of the Rings, Indiana Jones, James Bond and more in the bands’ show Movie Favourites.
“It is the first of a series of five performances around the state,” the band’s musical director Andrew Snell said.
“This weekend’s performance will be Australian premiere of the Wallace & Gromit with live orchestra.”
The Melbourne based band will perform for the first half of the show before the Shepparton Brass and Wind Band takes the spotlight, performing a series of movie themes and soundtracks.
The show will finish with both bands on the WestSide Performing Arts Centre stage performing together.
“People have started to get used to the movie with an orchestra style and I think it’s a great opportunity to get young audiences to come along and see how the music is done,” Mr Snell said.
“It’s going to be a really exciting afternoon.”
