Sounds of Cinema
Inspired by some of the greatest movie sound-tracks, the concert features music and themes from films, such as, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Meet Me in St. Louis and James Bond, through to contemporary classics such as John Williams' Catch Me If You Can soundtrack - all performed in the BBC Big Band's own inimitable style. The band will also be joined by special guest vocalist, Emer McParland, performing songs made famous by the leading-ladies of film music, including Judy Garland, Shirley Bassey and Marilyn Munroe.
