The concert should be part of upcoming Transatlantyk film festival in Poznan, Poland on August 4.
Anyone going?
Sadly, there are no guests announced so far and I couldn't find anything where to buy tickets... but if Sara Andon will be there as well as Robert Townson... I am sure it will be worth it to travel there and finally meet them both...
*********************************************************
The concert celebrating the 35th anniversary of the famous record label Varèse Sarabande will take place on August 4th, 2013, in the Concert Hall of Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznan; this is a real treat for the film music lovers.
