It was in 2015 that this rather unusual musical collaboration was born, when world renowned beat box artist Tom Thum and acclaimed composer Gordon Hamilton, along with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra embarked on creating the world’s first “Beat Box Concerto”. Simply titled, ‘Thum Prints’ this boundary pushing symphony comprises mainly of original compositions, wholly written by Tom and Gordon.

Having the ability to be programmed as a full 60 minute show, or as a 20 minute concerto in a longer symphonic program, the show is bridged by comedic interludes, short bursts of pastiche and reinterpretations of symphonic classics.
