Manhattan
The Town Hall presents One World Symphony,
in their first appearance there since last spring's sellout
debut concert, with a thrilling full-orchestra program accessible
for all ages with some of the most beloved and popular music
in iconic film history. Celebrating its 30th anniversary,
the grand symphonic score of Star Wars (1977) won
an Academy Award for John Williams, and is among the best-known
music in motion picture history, including its soaring main
theme and The Imperial March. Also, the Town Hall
audiences will be treated to One World Symphony's New York
premiere of the relentless Duel of the Fates from The
Phantom Menace! The collaboration between such legends
as Alfred Hitchcock and Bernard Herrmann produced the lush Vertigo and
suspenseful North By Northwest. Rodgers and Hammerstein's
Pulitzer Prize-winning South Pacific, a World War
II tale of romance, features such unforgettable hits songs
as Some Enchanted Evening and I'm Gonna Wash That
Man. Stravinsky's rapturous The Firebird tells
of a Prince who rescues an exotic bird, who then aids him
in freeing a captive Princess.
