Royal Philharmonic: Made in Hollywood by John Williams

The most recognizable film themes of John Williams will sound on October 18 in the Hall of the Royal Knight Academy. The Sudeten Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Christopher Russell will take the audience on a musical journey through the world of big cinema — from “E.T.” and “Hook”, through “Close Encounters of the Third Degree” and “Schindler's List”, to “Star Wars”.

It can be said that all cinematic roads lead to... Hollywood. This one of the most famous neighborhoods of Los Angeles, is the most important center of world cinema. It is here that the most important film companies are based, whose productions delight viewers all over the world to this day.

The success of the film consists not only of an outstanding cast, acting at the highest level or a great script. It is also music that enriches the narrative, builds tension and emotions. And here they appear — composers, seeing melodies in the letters of the script. One of the most prominent creators in this field is John Williams — a living legend of film music, creator of soundtracks for more than 100 films, such as “Harry Potter”, “Indiana Jones” and “Star Wars”. It is his work that will fill the program of our music and film event. We will hear motifs from such films as: the aforementioned “Star Wars”, “Hook”, “E.T.” or “Schindler's List”.

So... Silence! Camera... Action!
