Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra rolls out the red carpet for a night of movie magic!

Celebrate the run-up to the Oscars with Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and flamboyant conductor Pete Harrison, as together they bring symphonic glitz and glamour to Brighton Dome Concert Hall.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is delighted to return to Brighton with a spectacular concert which features the full orchestra playing music from the last fifty years of cinema. With something for everyone, from film fanatics to families, this concert aims to roll out the red carpet in style and evoke the magic of Hollywood past and present.

The music includes the breathtaking soundtrack to the 2000 epic Gladiator; the blustering dance tunes of Pirates of the Caribbean; John William’s poignant and haunting melodies of Schindler’s List, plus the epic sweep of Lawrence of Arabia and Out of Africa… not forgetting the enchanting tunes from Pixar’s colourful animated feature – Up.

Star Trek fans will not be disappointed as audiences are taken on an inter-galactic adventure with Star Trek Nemesis. The deep space travel continue as we fast forward to 2154 where Horner vividly depicts the outbreak of war as the Na’vi come under attack from planet Earth in Avatar to conclude a sensational concert celebrating the cinema at its finest.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra is one of the UK’s leading orchestras, proudly serving communities throughout the South and South West as well as performing nationally and internationally. It is one of the most dynamic and innovative symphony orchestras in the world, a tradition that dates from its foundation in 1893.

Dedicated to providing world-class music, the orchestra performs over 120 concerts each year with some of the finest conductors and soloists in the world, enjoying rave reviews for both concerts and recordings.

Taking music beyond the concert hall lies at the heart of Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra’s commitment to engaging with new audiences. The musicians participate in an array of projects – from national curriculum based workshops in schools to tea dances for the elderly – through BSO Resonate, the Orchestra’s pioneering education and community department that reaches more than 125,000 children and adults each year.
