From the wilds of Arabia to the French Revolution, ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers bring together BAFTA-, Academy Award- and Golden Globe-winning films. This showcase has everything you're looking for in a night at the movies; Cult Classics, Spaghetti Westerns, Adventure, Comedy, Sci-fi, Drama and Romance.
On the bill: blockbuster Les Misérables with music by Claude-Michel Schönberg, French drama Les Choristes, and Maurice Jarre's highly acclaimed soundtrack to Lawrence of Arabia. Chosen for their atmospheric nature, Ligeti's Lux aeterna accompanied 2001: A Space Odyssey's mesmerising imagery and Messiaen's haunting choral motet O Sacrum Convivium featured in Stigmata. Plus a handpicked selection from celebrated Italian film composer Ennio Morricone, including Once Upon a Time in the West and The Mission.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra has recorded many film and TV soundtracks including Planet Earth, Africa, The Paradise, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen and Brighton Rock. Come and see them and ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Singers at Watford Colosseum as they star in Europe on Film: Vive la Musique!
