Relive one of the nation’s most beloved stories in Phar Lap in Concert, performed live at Melbourne’s iconic Hamer Hall.

This world premiere event brings the legendary racehorse who captured Australia’s heart during the Great Depression back to the big screen. As the acclaimed film unfolds, the Southern Cross Symphony performs the sweeping score live, adding breathtaking power to this timeless Australian classic, celebrating 100 years since Phar Lap’s birth.

This special evening unites two greats of Australian cinema. The film’s star, Tom Burlinson, joins the orchestra on stage to share exclusive behind-the-scenes insights into his portrayal of Tommy Woodcock, offering a rare glimpse into the making of this celebrated film.

The night also features a grand musical tribute to Bruce Rowland. This celebration of his extraordinary career highlights his most iconic scores, including the unforgettable themes of All the Rivers Run and The Man from Snowy River.
