Alan Silvestri: Greatest Movie Themes

ABOUT THE CONCERT

The September programme of the Prague Proms festival presents a concert devoted to the film music of American composer Alan Silvestri, one of Hollywood’s most important soundtrack composers. Under the baton of Chris Egan, the Czech National Symphony Orchestra will revisit melodies from many successful films, including Forrest Gump, Back to the Future, Predator, The Avengers and The Polar Express.

Silvestri’s work is characterised by distinctive melodies, rich orchestration and an ability to heighten both the emotion and tension of a film story. His soundtracks have become an inseparable part of world cinema and remain among the most significant achievements in film music.
