No great film is complete without a memorable soundtrack. So, in the midst of awards season, join the CBSO as they roll out the red carpet for an evening of music from Oscar-winning films, with conductor and all-American showman Carl Davis as your host. Be swept from the triumph over adversity of The King’s Speech and the dark tension of Black Swan to the laugh-along antics of Toy Story and The Muppets. Just make sure you’ve got your champagne on ice and your acceptance speech at the ready!
Carl Davis conductor
Heather Shipp vocalist
