Event Description

Hollywood Classics
Saturday 12 September: 7.30pm

A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away…

Conductor David Danzmayr brandishes his lightsabre to direct the mighty symphonic force that is the Royal Scottish National Orchestra in a spectacular evening of movie magic. From sweeping scores that have accompanied some of the most romantic tear-jerkers of all-time, to the heroic, dazzling themes that light-up Hollywood’s biggest blockbusters, there’s something for movie and music lovers alike.

The programme will feature themes from some of the best-known film soundtracks of all time, including favourites by the biggest names in Hollywood - such as John Williams – as well as popular classic music that has been used to great effect to accompany the big screen action.

About the RSNO

Throughout its proud history the Orchestra has played an important part in Scotland’s musical life, including performing at the opening of the Scottish Parliament and giving concerts throughout Scotland, the UK and abroad. Stéphane Denève is entering his fifth season as Music Director of the RSNO, a partnership which enjoys great acclaim, at home and internationally. In 2007 Austrian David Danzmayr joined the RSNO as Assistant Conductor.

The RSNO has a worldwide reputation for the quality of its recordings and has been nominated for eight GRAMMY awards in the last seven years.
