Performance NotesStunning, stirring and spectacular Western themes will be celebrated at the Royal Albert Hall this March in the UK Premiere of a new show celebrating some of the genre’s most iconic moments.

Western movie and TV scores from the likes of John Barry, Elmer Bernstein, Dimitri Tiomkin and the legendary Ennio Morricone will be performed by the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra and Chorus, whilst original footage will be screened simultaneously on the big screen above.

Western Music in Concert will bring together all of Morricone’s best-loved Western themes – from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly to Once Upon a Time in the West – along with stunning, Oscar-winning scores from the likes of The Magnificent Seven, Dances with Wolves and High Noon.

The orchestra will also play TV themes from Rawhide and Lonesome Dove and delve deep into the genre, performing a handful of lost classics (German Westerns, anyone?) conducted by Ludwig Wicki.

'The Good, The Bad and the Tasty Fine Dining' tickets were available for £169 per person, which included pre-show dining in the Coda restaurant and premium stalls seating.

To promote this event, stunt horse-riding cowboy, Ollie Bass and his horse Rocky, posed on the steps of the Hall.
