It was my first live classical concert and the London Philharmonic Orchestra made it all very memorable. As part of Jarvis Cocker’s Meltdown, The Music of John Barry included some of the best known pieces composed by John Barry in the last five decades such as the James Bond theme, the scores for Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves.
It was definitely an enjoyable experience to hear some of the most impressive film tunes at the newly reopened Royal Festival Hall, especially because of the £91M refurbishment. I do recommend hanging out in the area in and around the building (with trendy restaurants, funky shops and lots of performance space) on a hot summer evening.
Will I go to see another live classical concert? Yes, but it will probably be another classical performance with a modern element.
