Hollywood Nights

Welcome to “Hollywood Nights,” a spectacular concert film that brings the grandeur of cinema’s most celebrated themes to life on a grand orchestral stage. Experience the iconic “Sunrise” opening of Richard Strauss’s tone poem *Also Sprach Zarathustra*, the very music that opened Stanley Kubrick’s visionary classic *2001: A Space Odyssey*. Our vast orchestra will carry this masterpiece to its dramatic conclusion, immersing the audience in a journey through Nietzsche’s philosophical novel and the eternal battle between nature, destiny, and triumph over existence. After this epic journey, get ready to dive into a catalog of beloved block‑buster film scores: the mystical motifs of *The Lord of the Rings* by Howard Shore, the heroic rhapsodies of *Gladiator* by Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard, the adventure of *Jurassic Park* by John Williams, and many other Hollywood favorites. The program also features the soaring melodies of *Wicked* (Stephen Schwartz/​Holzman), the soaring dragons of *How to Train Your Dragon* (John Powell), the wizardry of *Harry Potter* (John Williams), and more. Join us for an unforgettable night where the magic of film and the power of orchestral music collide in a celebration of Hollywood’s most memorable soundtracks. Check our site for details and tickets.
