The Australian Chamber Orchestra

A nature documentary like you’ve never heard before: picture the soaring heights and superhuman terrors of the world’s great mountain ranges, as live music accompanies breath-taking imagery.

In their latest fusion of sound, image, and primal awe, the Australian Chamber Orchestra – our International Associate at Milton Court – and artistic director Richard Tognetti provide live accompaniment to jaw-dropping cinematography, with music ranging from Antonio Vivaldi to Peter Sculthorpe.

Directed by BAFTA nominee Jennifer Peedom and narrated by William Dafoe, this is more than just a superb documentary with a glorious score. This follow-up to their acclaimed The Reef finds Tognetti and a handpicked team of ACO colleagues seeking even bolder ways to combine music, image, and Tognetti’s own very personal relationship with nature: in the words of one critic, it’s 'a sublime rush of adrenaline and orchestral beauty'.
