John Wilson and his orchestra return to the Proms
in a celebration of the Hollywood film scores that
Wilson describes as ‘literally unsung’ and a medley
of theme songs (featuring distinguished vocalists)
from otherwise non-musical movies. Connecticutborn
child prodigy Alfred Newman’s ‘Street Scene’,
from How to Marry a Millionaire, contrasts with the
music of Jewish émigrés Erich Korngold, Max Steiner
and Franz Waxman, with suites from Korngold’s
swashbuckling score for Robin Hood, Steiner’s
nostalgic music for Casablanca and Waxman’s
brooding score for A Place in the Sun – all of them
Academy Award-winners – making for a red-carpet
event at the Royal Albert Hall.Tickets £14 - £57.
