Fredericton Symphony Orchestra

For at least 100 years music has been integrated is a vital element of film in helping to set mood and character and in many cases has taken in an even larger role in the form of the musical. Sometimes these works are specific to film and others are adapted from theatre pieces to the screen.

In the early days, classical composers were key to the development of the musical score for a film. Composers such as Erich Korngold, Max Steiner and others all came from or also wrote concert music along with their impressive work with films. Another route was those of theatre composers such as Rodgers and Hammerstein. Composers of the 1950s and 60s sometimes became associated with particular film-makers such as Bernard Herrmann with Alfred Hitchcock. The last quarter of the twentieth century saw blockbuster composers such as John Williams become household names.

From the rousing Great Escape Theme to the magic of Frozen, the swashbuckling adventure of Robin Hood, and the show-stopping drama of Les Misérables and Jesus Christ Superstar, the FSO takes you on a rollicking journey through the unforgettable music of Stage and Screen.
