Symphonic Movie Hits

Symphonic Movie Hits invites you on a cinematic odyssey where grand orchestral forces translate unforgettable on‑screen scores into a living, breathing experience. Conducted by maestro Myroslav Kril and performed by the National Honored Academic Symphony Orchestra of Ukraine, this program turns the concert hall into a billowing film canvas, turning each soundtrack into a standalone masterpiece that has echoed through generations. Opening with Alfred Newman's thunderous “Fanfare for the Common Man,” the first section plunges you straight into the glamour of the silver screen. From there, the dramatic symphonic poem “Roksolana” by Yevhen Stankovych celebrates Ukrainian strength, before the legendary suite by John Williams for *Star Wars* swirls in—tender themes of Princess Leia followed by the iconic “Imperial March,” delivering the full force of a space saga that has defined modern adventure. The second half honors the music that now stands as cultural anthems of Hollywood blockbusters. Myroslav Skoryk’s soulful “Hutsul Dance” and confessional “Melody” harken back to the depth of the Ukrainian spirit, while sweeping canvases from Hans Zimmer and James Horner bring the haunting drama of *Gladiator* and the heart‑racing urgency of *Titanic* to life. The set‑list culminates with the gothic mystery of Andrew Webber’s *The Phantom of the Opera* and the adventurous heat of *Pirates of the Caribbean* by Badelta, each track a gem that has long lived beyond the screen. Feel the pure energy of live orchestral sound as these timeless melodies, now in full symphonic grandeur, awaken cherished memories of your favorite films. Join us for an unforgettable journey through cinema’s greatest musical moments—where every note breathes new life into the legends of the silver screen. For details and tickets, visit the link above.
