The New River Valley Symphony kicks off 2006 with a family-friendly concert of cinematic scores from recent popular films, as well as award-winning classics from years past on Saturday, February 25, at 8 p.m. in Burruss Auditorium.
The concert is a festival of film music with an action/adventure theme, beginning with ?The Cowboys Overture,? from John Williams? score for the 1970?s John Wayne western. Nearly sixty years of movie history is represented, from Erich Korngold?s score for Errol Flynn?s ?Adventures of Robin Hood? to Howard Shore?s ?Lord of the Rings,? winner of Academy and Golden Globe awards for Best Score.

More recent offerings include Danny Elfman?s theme from Tim Burton?s ?Batman? and suites from ?The Mask of Zorro? and ?Harry Potter?.
