The story of the GallipoIi campaign is everlasting. It is a story of endeavour, courage, tragedy, great achievements and great sacrifices. lt is a story of young nations and old coming together in conflict. It is, most of alI, a deepIy human story, woven into the fabric of Australia, New ZeaIand and Turkey. MiIlions of words have been written about the campaign, but the story has never been toId through music - until now. The GaIIipoli Symphony is a major composition produced by internationally respected composers from AustraIia, New Zealand and Turkey. It represents the first time ever that composers from three nations that fought in the campaign have coIlaborated on a singIe commemorative work of this scaIe. The GaIIipoIi Symphony is structured into parts, like chapters in a book, each themed around an eIement of the campaign - from the fareweII to the New Zealander troops as they began their journey across the worId, to the battIe fieIds after the invasion and, finaIly, hope for a brighter future. The Symphony received its world-premiere performance in the magnificent Hagia Irene in IstanbuI on 4 August 2015, featuring renowned musicians from each of the three nations as weII as the lstanbul State Symphony Orchestra conducted by Jessica Cottis. This DVD, fiImed by the ABC, presents that remarkabIe performance, capturing a moment of huge cuItural and historicaI significance. The DVD aIso incIudes interviews with the composers in a documentary feature GallipoIi Symphony - A Creative Journey. Music composed by: Demir Demirkan / Ross Edwards / Gareth Farr / Ross Harris / Kamran Ince / EIena Kats-Chernin / Graeme Koehne / Chris Latham / Richard Nunns / Andrew SchuItz / Peter Sculthorpe / Omar Faruk TekbiIek |
