The Curse of the Gothic Symphony follows the journey of a fanatical and eclectic group of music lovers who aspire to break the curse behind British composer Havergal Brian's notorious First Symphony. At over two hours long and requiring two orchestras, four brass bands and five full choirs it is regarded as the Mt. Everest of classical music.

Gripped by the challenge to bring off the first staging of this monstrous symphony, these modern day crusaders will not stop until they triumph against all odds...failure is not an option. The curse must be broken.

"This gripping film takes us inside the belly of the creative beast." - Urban Cinefile

"A swift, entertaining look at a very particular artistic quest." - ABC Radio (Australia)
