Biography

The City Light Symphony Orchestra has been treating audiences to film music from the very beginning. Its concert debut, which took place in the KKL Luzern’s highly regarded concert hall in autumn 2018, featured the live-to-projection world premiere of “The Hunger Games”. The Lucerne-based orchestra is flexible in size, and can range from a large orchestral ensemble to chamber formations. It brings together students and professionals from all over Switzerland. The musical direction is provided by internationally renowned conductors with a wealth of experience in classical and film music, including Kevin Griffiths, Ernst van Tiel, Anthony Gabriele and Thiago Tiberio. Ensuing highlights of the fledgling orchestra have included the live-to-projection world premiere of “How to Train Your Dragon” in the presence of its composer John Powell, the European premieres of “Cinema Paradiso” and “Apollo 13”, as well as performances of the Williams classics “Indiana Jones – Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “Home Alone”. The concert program “Downton Abbey in Concert” presented at the KKL Luzern benefited from the presence alongside the orchestra of composer John Lunn and actor Jim Carter as Mr. Carson. The City Light Symphony Orchestra has thrilled audiences with live-to-projection performances of the Christmas comedy “Love Actually”, the Pixar masterpiece “Ratatouille”, the visually stunning live-action adaptation of “Beauty and the Beast” as well as “Casino Royale” and “Skyfall”.
