Sebastian Knauer / Symphoniker Hamburg / David Newman

• Other

Pianist and Echo Klassik award-winner Sebastian Knauer presents a very special programme - the sounds of Hollywood - in original works and new, never-before-heard arrangements written exclusively for him, accompanied by the large orchestra of the Hamburg Symphony Orchestra. The evening will be conducted by Oscar-nominated composer and conductor David Newman. He comes from the most successful film music dynasty in the history of the Academy Awards. The programme includes music by his father Alfred Newman, the founding father of the Hollywood sound, composer of the world's most famous fanfare, the 20th Century Fox logo, winner of nine Oscars and his brother Thomas Newman, who has also been nominated for several Oscars. The Oscar-winning composers Alex North, Bernard Herrman, Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith and James Horner can also be heard. Of course, the great American classics George Gershwin, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland and Samuel Barber are not to be missed on this evening.
