Mexodus

Berkeley Repertory Theatre

The silver screen has attracted and fascinated classical composers since the beginning, and from their combination, film music arose. Erich Korngold composed on both sides: film and classical, and by winning the first Academy Award for film music, he opened the door for composers who have devoted themselves entirely to film. The concert will showcase the development of film music from the now classic Oscar-winning melodies of Between Two Worlds, Casablanca, Gone with the Wind, Ben Hur or Star Wars and Harry Potter by the legendary, Oscar-winning record holder John Williams, who celebrated his 92nd birthday this year.

After intermission, the BSO will proceed with an examination of American film composers such as John Williams, Ernest Gold, and Elmer Bernstein. Could there be a surprise encore? Come and find out!
