In 2007, the 79-yearold Ennio Morricone received an Honorary Academy Award in recognition of a lifetime creating memorable music for film, but he has long been revered as a film composer par excellence, having scored more than 500 films and television series. His music, strong in molding both character and atmosphere, has enthralled filmgoers for decades! The GSO invites Italian maestro Diego Basso, a longtime Morricone expert, to lead our orchestra, performing selections along with footage from the original films. What a splendid musical feast to share with friends and family!
