Edition 2018
Stanley Kubrick's groundbreaking masterpiece 2001: A Space Odyssey is exactly fifty years old this year and that is worth celebrating. Wit the concert 2001 and Beyond: A Symphonic Odyssey, we venture into space with symphonic film scores.
We discover the musical richness of different generations of composers who gave their own sound to traveling through the universe. The concert brings cosmic film music history to life, with an emphasis on the great composers of the seventies, eighties and nineties, supplemented by work by contemporary colleagues.
Brace yourself for the space operas of John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, John Barry, Elliot Goldenthal, Harry Gregson-Williams, Ennio Morricone and Cliff Martinez. And let yourself be overwhelmed and carried away by the soundtracks from Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, The Black Hole, Solaris, The Martian and Black Mirror: USS Callister. We also premiere a fragment of the original score of Alex North for 2001: A Space Odyssey; a score that Kubrick replaced at the last moment with Strauss's existing classical music.
