In this "Popcorn Symphony," we perform film music from blockbusters such as "Superman," "Barbie," "Gran Torino," "The Piano," "Elevator to the Gallows," "Zorba the Alexis," and "Jaws." We transform the Frankfurt Exhibition Hall into a cinema. The rich orchestral sound replaces Dolby surround sound, transforming great film music into a special live experience.
