Today I had the joy of arranging some of my favourite ever movie tracks into one hell of an orchestral medley. Featuring tracks from Disney, Pixar, Fox, Marvel and Star Wars.
The medley was for a Disney Showcase and featured a cut-down version of the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra or as I like to call them - Bonsai MSO.
I played keyboards along with the orchestra. The performance aptly took place at Marvel Stadium.

As well as composing all the orchestral and choral parts for the Restrung version, Messenger also wrote and played much of the original track it was based on.
