It's not your usual night at the symphony when you're hearing Philip Glass's interpretation of Aphex Twin.

Overview

History is about to be made in Brisbane. Yes, that's a big call, but there's just no other way to describe the meeting of musical minds that will occur for one evening only. Acclaimed Mexican guest Alondra de la Parra will conduct. The Queensland Symphony Orchestra will play. Superstar composer Philip Glass has arranged the work. And it all stems from a piece by electronica wizard Aphex Twin.

They're joining forces for the world premiere of ICCT Hedral, and it's kind of a big deal. Your usual orchestral performance, this is not. Expect a high-octane display of rhythm and energy.

De la Parra is one of the most sought-after talents around the world, and her stint at the helm will also see her showcase the biggest names in Latin American music. Quite simply, she'll be conducting QSO through a show of the kinds of sounds you never thought you'd hear them play. Now that's a night at the symphony.
