SCOTT DUNN ORCHESTRA

Scott Dunn and his orchestra return with a thrilling celebration of one of Hollywood’s most iconic decades. The 1980s ushered in a triumphant revival of the sweeping orchestral score, bigger, bolder, and more emotionally charged than ever. It was a golden era that gave us some of the most memorable film music ever written.

This concert features the legendary sounds of John Williams (The Empire Strikes Back, E.T.), the gothic brilliance of Danny Elfman (Batman), the haunting lyricism of Ennio Morricone (The Mission, Once Upon a Time in America), alongside the distinctive voices of Randy Newman, Dave Grusin, Bruce Broughton, and John Corigliano — from Altered States to On Golden Pond and beyond.

Film music in the 1980s created themes that stayed with us long after the credits rolled. Experience these iconic scores
