Symphony Central Coast will present a concert with a difference on December 1.
Enjoy images of children’s favourites Wallace and Gromit and Shaun the sheep on the big screen as the orchestra plays themes from Studio Ghibli films, along with some Christmas music to welcome the holiday season.
In Nick Park’s 1993 Academy Award-winning short film, Wallace and Gromit: The Wrong Trousers, viewers see Gromit, Wallace’s faithful canine companion, pushed out of his room and home by a devious new lodger, Feathers McGraw.
A ruthless criminal (and a penguin cunningly disguised as a chicken), Feathers is planning a robbery and needs to use Wallace and his mechanical remote-controlled techno-trousers to pull off the raid.
Shaun the Sheep’s Christmas excitement turns to dismay when a plan to get bigger stockings for the flock leads to Timmy going missing.
Can Shaun get Timmy back before he becomes someone else’s present?
The heart-warming, funny and ‘Santastic’ adventure is a festive treat and is suitable for all ages, as everyone learns the true value of Christmas.
Japan is famous for its animated movies, or anime, but the films from Studio Ghibli are in a league of their own.
Spirited Away (2001) won the best animated feature award at the 2003 Academy Awards and pretty much encapsulates the entire Ghibli ethos.
Symphony Central Coast will play the main theme, plus music from My Neighbor Totoro, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Princess Mononoke and Howl’s Moving Castle.
The show will be performed once only – at 2.30pm on Sunday, December 1, at Central Coast Grammar School Performing Arts Centre.
