Film Fest Gent: James Horner Tribute Concert
Brussels Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dirk Brossé - Muziekcentrum De Bijloke - concertzaal
Program Info: On 17 October 2024, Film Fest Gent will pay tribute to the legendary American composer James Horner with a unique night filled with his iconic scores. A selection of his work will be curated with the assistance of Simon Franglen. The World Soundtrack Award for Discovery of the Year 2023 recipient was an integral part of Horner's team on the scores for among others Titanic and Avatar. Maestro Dirk Brossé will lead the Brussels Philharmonic in this musical celebration. “James Horner was one of the icons of film music, a man who created some of the most memorable and emotional scores we have ever heard.”
Film Fest Gent and live music go hand in hand. To celebrate this special relationship the festival organises the yearly World Soundtrack Awards Ceremony & Concert and the WSA Film Music Days, where industry professionals and passionate audiences unite to celebrate the best of film music. Each year, a thematic concert is held to pay homage to a composer, a country or a genre.
This year's concert revolves around the work of legendary composer James Horner, whose scores were featured in some of the biggest blockbusters of the last four decades. His legacy includes two of the top box office films of all time - Titanic (1997) and Avatar (2009), and some many other iconic scores such as Apollo 13 (1995), Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan (1982), Legends of The Fall (1994), Aliens (1986), A Beautiful Mind (2001) and many concert works. James Horner’s wife, Sara, is hoping to be in attendance. James Horner
Born in L.A. in 1953, James Horner grew up to become one of Hollywood’s most renowned composers. The score album of Titanic, a monument in film history, remains one of the highest-grossing instrumental soundtrack albums of all time. Leaving an immense musical legacy, he served as a composer on three Oscar Winners for Best Film (Braveheart, 1995; Titanic and A Beautiful Mind) and won two Academy Awards for his work on James Cameron’s 1997 epic film.
