The Philippine Philharmonic Orchestra

Pieces to be performed at the concert is led by Richard Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30. This symphonic poem became well known in pop culture when the piece’s Introduction/Sunrise fanfare was used at the opening scene of Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: The Space Odyssey. And in this concert, the PPO will play the piece in its entirety giving the audience the rare opportunity to hear more than just the iconic opening brass fanfare.

Other pieces include Charles Gonoud's Funeral March of a Marionette, more popularly known as the theme of Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Gioachino Rossini's William Tell Overture, fondly known as the theme of The Lone Ranger and Ralph Ford's Go West! an arrangement of Western flim music including the seminal Spaghetti Western theme of The Good, The Bad and the Ugly. Adventure and science fiction is represented by John Williams' music from Pirates of the Caribbean and Star Wars. Animated films take center stage with Alexander Courage's arrangement of music from Mulan by Jerry Goldsmith and Tatsuo Takai's Astro Boy March from the anime classic Astro Boy.
