The Film Symphony Orchestra (FSO) will once again visit the Auditorio Nacional de Música on 5 January at 19:30 with the concert Krypton, inspired by soundtracks of heroes and superheroes.
The FSO, a popular Spanish orchestra that performs live soundtracks of emblematic films and series, will visit the Auditorio for the seventh time, conducted by the musician and composer Constantino Martínez-Orts. This new musical proposal, which began on 17 September and will last until June 2023, will offer a unique staging with many surprises, accompanied by percussion and brass instruments, and with costumes inspired by some of the films that form part of the musical repertoire. A mixture that, together with the lighting, will immerse the spectator in history through epic pieces such as Superman, Iron Man 3, Braveheart and The Last Mohican, among others.
Those who attend the show will enjoy the mastery with which the legendary composer Alan Silvestri knew how to musicalise the heroic personality of Captain America in a luminous march, the sharp sonic flashes with which Basil Poledouris described the twanging of Crom’s anvil in Conan The Barbarian or how Danny Elfman touched the sky when he captured his unique and characteristic personality in the unexpected harmonic twists of Spiderman. Not to be missed in this musical odyssey is the score of Superman, Oscar for Best Original Score by the celebrated composer John Williams, or the main theme of The Last of the Mohicans, by Trevor Jones, whose overwhelming intensity unparalleledly conveys the courage of ‘Hawkeye’.
The dramatic intensity will undoubtedly be provided by the patriarch of superheroes in recent decades, Hans Zimmer, who appears on the programme (doubly) represented by the monumental scores with which he crowned himself: The Dark Knight and Man of Steel. Tickets for this concert and for the new FSO tour can be purchased here.
