This year Steven Spielberg turns 80, so it’s the perfect time to celebrate the brilliance of one of cinema’s most iconic filmmakers.
His legendary partnerships with composers such as John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith and Alan Silvestri created scores and films that have had everlasting impact on audiences across the globe. Feel the heart‑pounding intensity of Poltergeist, and the profound emotion of Schindler’s List. Be part of Indiana Jones’s treasure‑seeking adventures in Raiders of the Lost Ark and re-live the nostalgia of E.T. the Extra‑Terrestrial. Escape to other worlds of Ready, Player One, Super 8 and Close Encounters of the Third Kind, plus more unforgettable moments.
Don’t miss this extraordinary cinematic concert experience where beloved scores are re‑imagined with the vibrant orchestral energy of sixty three musicians and atmospheric illumination, recalling the stories that shaped our imaginations across generations.
