Oscar Race: An Evening of Academy-Award Music

Relive cinema’s greatest moments through the power of live orchestral music

Qatar National Convention Centre, Auditorium 3

In cooperation with the Europäische FilmPhilharmonie – EFP, Conductor Frank Strobel, a pioneer of the film-in-concert genre, leads the Qatar Philharmonic Orchestra through the music behind some of cinema's most unforgettable moments, narrated by Manfred Callsen.

From the sweeping desert vistas of Lawrence of Arabia and the thundering chariot race in Ben-Hur, to the time-travelling adventure of Back to the Future, and the bittersweet romance of La La Land. This is a night of music you already know and love, brought to life live.
