I would love to attend the World Soundtrack Awards.  Screw the Teen Choice Awards!  Anyway, the highlight to this year’s program will feature music by composers Alexandre Desplat and Marvin Hamlisch.  The Brussels Philharmonic led by Desplat will perform music from his works including The Girl with the Pearl Earring, The Queen, The Painted Veil, Birth, The Golden Compass, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and Lust, Caution.

The Brussels Philharmonic will also perform music by Academy Award winning composer, Marvin Hamlisch.  Hamlisch, who won three Oscars in 1973 for the films The Way We Were and The Sting, will receive the World Soundtrack Lifetime Achievement Award.  Hamlisch’s other notable works include the tenth James Bond film The Spy Who Loved Me and the hit musical A Chorus Line.  It’s sure to be a great night of film music.
