Step into the world of War on the Big Screen for our next two sets at 1300 and 1345— where the music is as iconic as the films themselves.
From the grit of the great wartime epics to the soaring themes that defined a generation, we’re bringing the soundtrack of courage, camaraderie and classic cinema to life.
We couldn't bring you Robert Redford, or Sean Connery but we can bring you a stirring march and a heroic brass line: will Steve McQueen make that jump?
