Great musical moments from the silver screen with jazzman extraordinaire, James Morrison.
The Kaleidoscope series begins in style by bringing together some of the great musical moments from the silver screen in a program starring jazzman extraordinaire, James Morrison.
The trumpet takes the spotlight in a 'Satchmo' bracket, there’s music to make you smile in Charlie Chaplin’s Modern Times, and the smooth themes from the movies that made James Bond a household name.
John Williams brought the sound of the orchestra to the world of the science fiction movie with his spectacular orchestral score for Star Wars. And classical music itself starred in 2001: A Space Odyssey, when Stanley Kubrick lifted the stunning opening moment of Richard Strauss’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra.
Hear it all when James Morrison and friends The Idea of North and Emma Pask take the Sydney Symphony to the movies.
