Now that I have your attention for those near enough to the Los Angeles area:
Swords, Sandals, & Swashbucklers Sail across the sea...venture across the desert...ride horses across a battleground. This is the show that has taken centuries to create. Allow GSPO to take you on the adventure of a lifetime with Pirates, Gladiators and more.

The Zimmer-factory is well represented. Must be for the general public. Where's North, Goldsmith, various Golden Agers...
??? Doesn't look thundering to me.
Two Rozsas, Tiomkin and Saint-saens is half the program and they certainly don't qualify as Silver agers. Also he tends to have his encore be Golden Age.
...I would've gone if it was somewhere in the neigborhood...
I am always curious as to who is in this neighborhood? Despite the fact that more scores are done here than anywhere in the world, I think there are not that many fans in this town.
Wanted to make a last comment on a spectacular concert. Mr. Fox dedication to film music is inspiring. He presents these pieces as close to the originals as possible. Most orchestras do "pop" versions. Montevani goes to the movies. Besides the aforementioned pieces he added Tiomkin's LAND OF THE PHAROAHS, another rare piece for film concerts. His quest to get film music appreciation out to the masses seems uphill. Aside from the little band of us that went this time and the to western one a couple months there doesn't seem to be many collector's attending. On top of that Fox used to list in FSM but no longer does. My announcement on the messageboard was the only advertisement I have seen. This guy deserves more attention. I will continue to announce his events and try to figure out more ways to get the word out.
