Wars® performed by the

Be transported to Hogwarts, recover the Ark of the Covenant and escape from the Jaws of cinema’s most terrifying and prehistoric creatures in this sensational celebration of the music of John Williams, under the baton of esteemed conductor Stephen Bell.

The RPO is no stranger to the film world; they are frequently found in
the recording studio and have performed extensively for film and television.
Their earliest film recording was The Red Shoes in 1948, David Lean’s
A Passage to India, Enduring Love starring Daniel Craig, Mad Max: Beyond
Thunderdome and most recently Phantom Thread. The Orchestra have
also featured as themselves in Charles Dance’s Ladies in Lavender
alongside Dame Judi Dench and Maggie Smith.

The RPO is
really excited to present this spectacular programme of John Williams scores.
Managing Director, James Williams said: “To welcome people to the orchestral genre, we
need to celebrate the importance of film, computer games and musical theatre as
signposts to musical discovery.”
This
perspective is supported by research
conducted in 2018 by YouGov that found that
film
was rated the biggest
single influence for introducing children to orchestral music. The John Williams concert is perfect for families, and
will be a guaranteed night to remember for listeners of all ages. So bring your
friends, family, seasoned concert-goers and orchestral newbies alike for an
unforgettable journey into the sound of cinema!
This concert is made possible through the generous support of Sunderland Music Hub, Sunderland Empire Theatre Trust and the University of Sunderland.
Tickets available in
