"Hollywood in Vienna" Concerts Celebrates Classic and Current Masterpieces
About the Concert:
»Hollywood in Vienna« is a symphonic gala concert celebrating classic and current masterpieces of film music in the prestigious Wiener Konzerthaus (Vienna Concert Hall) in Vienna, capital of Austria.
Within the course of each gala, the City of Vienna awards one of today’s leading film music composers with the »Max Steiner Award«.
The Viennese Max Steiner belongs to the most influential pioneers in the history of Hollywood movies and scored all-time classics like KING KONG, GONE WITH THE WIND and CASABLANCA. Along with other Viennese composers like Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who gained fame in Hollywood for scores as THE ADVENTURES OF ROBIN HOOD, they created the typical »Hollywood Sound« with rich orchestrations and romantic melodies.
With the »Hollywood in Vienna« gala celebration, film music returns back to its roots – to Vienna, the City of Music.
Besides honoring the composers, Vienna welcomes all creative people who contribute to the wonderful world of film and hopes to offer a spectacular setting for a memorable night.
