DSO’s legendary Amphitheatre Concert returns to the George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens for a night of unforgettable music under the stars!

In 2026, Movie Hits celebrates the tunes that made films iconic - from unforgettable anthems to upbeat favourites that get everyone singing and dancing. The full orchestra is joined by a live band and lead vocalists, bringing costumes and creative flair to every number. The concert will also include two short orchestral-only works, giving audiences a chance to enjoy the full richness of the orchestra on its own.

This is not a traditional orchestral concert - it’s a vibrant, joyful community celebration. Bring a picnic, gather your friends and family, and join our loyal crowd for an energetic evening of music, movement, and pure entertainment that locals and visitors alike rave about.

Entry by donation. Gates open at 5pm.
