About

‘Como’ is a film written and produced by Demi Louise, with the score composed by Kailesh Reitmans.

“In 1879, regional NSW, a prodigious young talent dreams of visiting Lake Como, Italy, to compose a symphony. When the Sydney International Exhibition arrives that year, she must summon the courage to pursue her passion, defy societal norms, and make her dreams a reality on the world stage.”

“A thrilling sequel to the Sydney Concert Orchestra program series. Presenting works from the Classical, Romantic and 21st Century periods. Tchaikovsky’s passion-packed Symphony no. 5 will be the main event alongside Beethoven’s Egmont Overture and a new work from one of our young and emerging composers, Kailesh Reitmans.”

The Sydney Concert Orchestra presents

COMO

The world premiere of Como by the young Kailesh Reitmans performed by the Sydney Concert Orchestra.

“With its romantic themes interspersed with moments of tension and the generous use of horns, the work immediately brought to mind a film score, which indeed it was! The film, Como, is still in development, but Kailesh hopes his music will feature as its opening when it is completed.”
