Logan City Symphony Orchestra - Heroes, Villains and Dreamers
The opening event for 2026 is Heroes, Villains and Dreamers – a concert that immerses you in the magical worlds of cinema, celebrating the music that has brought some of our most beloved stories to life. The programme opens with a special tribute to the enduring legacy of John Williams and his unparalleled contribution to cinematic storytelling, followed by iconic scores from composers including John Powell, Klaus Badelt, Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and Paul Dukas.
You’ll be transported through the enchanting wizarding realm of Harry Potter in Jerry Brubaker’s sweeping arrangement of The Complete Harry Potter; soar through the skies with the exhilarating Test Drive from How to Train Your Dragon; thrill to the prehistoric drama of the Jurassic World Concert Suite; ride the high seas in Hans Zimmer’s epic Medley from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End; journey across Middle-earth with Howard Shore’s majestic Symphonic Suite from The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring; and delight in the mischievous magic of Paul Dukas’s timeless The Sorcerer’s Apprentice, forever immortalised in Disney’s Fantasia.
For this performance, the Logan Entertainment Centre will be transformed into an orchestral performance space, with specially designed sound towers created specifically for the Logan City Symphony Orchestra. Alongside live orchestral sound, lighting and projected images support the music, shaping an atmosphere that deepens the sense of journey while keeping the orchestra at its centre.
Whether you’re attending your first orchestral concert or returning to music you already love, join us for this first concert of the year as Logan’s own symphony orchestra brings heroes, villains and dreamers to life on stage. It is an experience for people of all ages — from young listeners discovering orchestral music for the first time to those with a child still alive in their heart — shared through storytelling, sound and live performance.
