About this show
Lights! Camera! Action! John Williams as you’ve never heard him before, or ever will again! From Jurassic Park to How to Train Your Dragon, the Really Terrible Orchestra celebrates film music in a family friendly concert. There may be pirates, cowboys and other surprises from the silver screen. Come and hear if you can recognise what on earth we’re playing! A Fringe stalwart founded by popular novelist Alexander McCall Smith, Edinburgh’s orchestra for the ‘musically challenged’ has been stunning audiences and annoying critics worldwide for 31 years. Conducted by the effervescent Count Michael von Graham. CUT!
