Festival Krumlov: Night in Hollywood

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 Miklós Rózsa and Max Steiner to the contemporary soundtrack giants such as John Williams, Maurice Jarre and Jerry Goldsmith.
