The series of films screened with a live orchestra at London’s prestigious Royal Albert Hall have been incredibly successful. In recent months we’ve seen the likes of The Godfather, Aliens, Jurassic Park and even E.T. The Extra Terrestrial screened to thousands of fans, all backed with a full 30-piece plus orchestra. Well, the tradition is continuing as the venue today announced that another Spielberg classic, perhaps the greatest blockbuster of all-time is set to headline their second annual Festival of Film later this year.
As well as Jaws In Concert, there will also be a Halloween screening of The Addams Family with live orchestra, and celebrations of three of the movies’ finest composers: Michael Giacchino, James Newton Howard and James Horner.
Jaws will play at the iconic venue on Saturday 21st October, 2017, and will include classic John Williams music omitted from the original movie, which is now restored in full.
The Michael Giacchino celebration will take place the day before on 20th October, with James Horner: A Life In Music presented on 24th October, The Addams Family In Concert on 26th October, and James Newton Howard: 3 Decades Of Music For Hollywood staging on Friday 3rd November.
