Sarasota Orchestra – Soundstages

Television themes share the bill with blockbuster film scores in Soundstages, the Great Escapes installment at the orchestra's own Holley Hall. The small screen is represented by Dragnet's four-note opening, I Love Lucy and The Office; the big one by Rocky, Willy Wonka, The Lord of the Rings, Sunset Boulevard and Flight to Neverland, John Williams' cue from Hook. Guest conductor Christopher Confessore, who has led the Brevard Symphony Orchestra since 1995 and is principal pops conductor of the Alabama Symphony, has a Sarasota connection: he has said the first orchestra concert he ever heard, in the 1970s, was given by the Florida West Coast Symphony, the Sarasota Orchestra's earlier name.
