Family concert: Music from the movies

 Local talented young musicians, Jo and Kim Williams and Rachel Greene, are all set for the Banbury Symphony Orchestra family concert.

 This summer's exciting family concert features film music, ranging from recent highly popular films such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings plus The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’ by Dukas, used in the famous Disney film Fantasia. to other pieces of music that are extremely well known but perhaps not immediately linked with the movies: such as the soaring Barber's 'Adagio for Strings', which has been used in Oliver Stone's Platoon, The Elephant Man and Amélie, and the familiar 'Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra', which Britten wrote for a documentary film, cleverly introducing each orchestral instrument that then knits together in a rousing finale.

• Ireland Overlanders Suite (1946 Australian film about a large herd of cattle being driven 1600 miles overland)

• Barber Adagio for Strings (Oliver Stone's Platoon, The Elephant Man and Amélie)

• Pirates of the Caribbean

• Lord of the Rings

• The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

• Harry Potter

• Britten Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra (written for a documentary film in 1946)
