HAMILTON, ON—On Saturday, February 8, prepare to be mesmerized by musical selections from the film franchise centered around the greatest secret agent of all time, James Bond! You won’t want to miss this concert with your Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, led by the powerful composer/arranger Darcy Hepner as guest conductor and arranger!
Whether debating between Sean Connery, Pierce Brosnan or Daniel Craig, we know deciding who the best ‘007’ is, can be quite contentious. That’s why this concert features music from all your favourite James Bond films, including (but not limited to): Goldfinger, Casino Royale, Skyfall, License to Kill, Diamonds are Forever, Goldeneye, From Russia With Love and more! All of the espionage-musical themed fun is for the whole family, and we invite audience members to dress up as Bond or a character from the films.
On this concert, guest conductor Darcy Hepner says, “I am thrilled to present The Music of James Bond with the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra this coming February. I’ve been preparing this program for nearly two years, and I can’t wait to hear these iconic melodies come to life, just as they were experienced in the recording studio all those years ago. The program features 15 songs, 9 classic instrumentals, 6 extraordinary vocalists, a fantastic 60-piece orchestra, and one of the finest guitarists in the country, Ted Quinlan! With original graphics by Hamilton artist John Farr, this will be the most powerful way to experience the excitement of Bond outside the movie theater.”
