Music from the Movies - repeat performance today
The Symphony Orchestra of Sri Lanka (SOSL) has responded to the
numerous requests for a repeat performance of Music from the Movies at
the Ladies College Hall today.
|
Ramya de Livera |
Directed by the cellist Dushyanthi Perera, the SOSL received a
standing ovation at their first performance and had to turn back a host
of music lovers who couldn't get their tickets at the door.
In the program today SOSL will play some of the best known themes
from the most popular hits of the silver screen.
In your mind's eye you might see Darth Vader stalk down the halls of
the Death Star as you hear the brilliant strains of the theme from Star
Wars or imagine 'Bond-James Bond' when the orchestra plays the theme
from 007.
The SOSL will play a fabulous selection of music from hits such as
Pirates of the Caribbean, Gladiator and Mission Impossible.
The orchestra will also play a medley from Chicago that will make you
want to get up and do the Charleston and one from Sound of Music that
will bring back so many memories of your favourite things.
Coming to modern times the orchestra will perform favourites of Abba
tunes from the hugely successful Mama Mia.
The spotlight will fall on Ramya de Livera when she performs Richard
Addinsell's Warsaw Concerto.The SOSL will be joined by the Ladies
College Choir which will be enhanced by vocalists Thivanthi Perera,
Amandhi Caldera, Shehara Liyanage and Roshani de Silva in the medleys
from Sound of Music and Mamma Mia.
Amandhi Caldera will delight you with her sizzling rendition of the
jazzy music of Chiago, while Shehara Liyanage will move with the
poignant On My Own from Les Mis. |
