Title: DP to Premiere of The Curse of the Gothic Symphony in Sydney-Urban Cinefile Post by: powerette on Sunday 08 July 2012, 09:38:10 pm http://www.urbancinefile.com.au/competitions/competition1.asp
THE CURSE OF THE GOTHIC SYMPHONY - PREMIERE (SYDNEY) Filmed over seven years, The Curse of the Gothic Symphony charts the parallel stories of the life of Havergal Brian and the dedicated team who aspire to mount a performance of his infamous symphony - the largest, longest, most complex in history, performed only four times despite repeated attempts and thus declared 'cursed' - in Brisbane. At the core of this odyssey is Gary Thorpe who for over twenty-eight years has been pitching the idea to stage the massive symphony without success. Then there is John Curro, conductor of the Queensland Youth Orchestra who is challenged by the opportunity to stage big productions and wants a crack at the Gothic Symphony. And Alison Rogers a choral master who wants to prove herself despite there not being enough choristers in Brisbane for such a huge undertaking. And finally, Veronica Fury, who is gripped by the curse and crosses the line from film producer to entrepreneur caught up in the odyssey, seized by the sheer titanic scale of the task ...
