Spectacular Soundtracks

Music from some of the greatest blockbusters of all time.
Conductor

PETE HARRISON CONDUCTOR

Cast your mind back… The family bickering has been resolved and a decision has been made, the curtains are closed and everyone has found their favourite chair. 

And then, the drum roll and fanfare of Twentieth Century Fox starts and it’s film night! But what does the theme tune tell you lies in store? Is it the dramatic brass of an action film like Mission: Impossible? Do you hear a tolling bell, as a lonely oboe and eerie voices herald the start of a Western like The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly? Or maybe an Irish flute, horn and lush strings set the tone for a love story such as Titanic…

Before a word of dialogue has been spoken, music for film has already painted a picture of your new reality for a couple of hours. Join the Ulster Orchestra as they help you recreate that escape by playing some of the most spectacular soundtracks in cinema history!
