Along with exceptional actors, great directors and compelling scripts, the ingredients for a great film often include a score that is frequently perceived at an almost subliminal level. When heard again, the music immediately transports us back to romantic, funny or scary moments, and even decades later, we still associate it with the emotion conveyed by the film itself.
With glitter and glamour aplenty, the “Hollywood comes to the Johannisberg” format once again spirits audiences away to the world of international cinema – fortunately, there is an inexhaustible number of soundtracks and film scores to choose from, which certainly won’t run out in 2023. As a composer, arranger and conductor of film music in Hollywood, Germany and everywhere in between, Londoner Nic Raine is a seasoned expert and guides us through the evening with entertaining and amusing anecdotes about music, stars and starlets. Let yourself be surprised by a programme of film music that ranges from yesteryear to the present!
