University of Warwick Symphony Orchestra, Wind Orchestra, Brass Band and Chorus, including THE BIG SING!

A glamorous concert of toe tapping classics from Tinseltown and beyond, performed by the Music Centre's larger ensembles. Dream away to the fantasy of John Williams ET and Jurassic Park, feel the edgy qualities of Bernard Herrmann's North by Northwest, swing along to Irving Berlin's There's No Business Like Show Business, giggle at the comic vibe of Henry Mancini's Pink Panther...

Presented in the style of an opulent Hollywood Awards Ceremony, the audience is encouraged to attend wearing glitzy and glamorous outfits.
