A selection of film music recorded by the LSO, including scores by Alexandre Desplat, Philippe Sarde, Philippe Chany and Guillaume Roussel for films such as Harry Potter, Black Beauty (2020) and Tess.

Since 1935, the London Symphony Orchestra has contributed soundtracks to over two hundred movies – including some of the greatest ever made. This summer, renowned film music conductor Dirk Brossé returns to the Barbican to conduct the Orchestra for the second of a three-concert series, this time featuring scores by some of the most acclaimed French composers in cinematic history.

Witness breathtaking music from the silver screen, live in concert and get an insight of the music from members of the Orchestra. Discover soundtracks by composers such as Philippe Sarde, Philippe Chany, Guillaume Roussel, Alexandre Desplat and more from a diverse mix of films, including Asterix & Obelix, Black Beauty (2020) and Tess.

‘There isn’t an orchestra in the world that’s more associated with film than the LSO.’
John Williams
