Hollywood Night
Municipal House, Smetana Hall,
Over thirty film music concerts, three dozen programmes including almost six hundred film scores, what a remarkable achievement! Often there were two film score concerts within a single annual, so each of you will surely recall your favourite. For this year’s annual we’ve reached into the archives for the proven soundtracks, and we bring them to you in four different genre sections:
Nostalgia, Western, Monument and Comedy.
