For those anywhere near the Los Angeles area February 6th:

On Saturday February 6th, 2010, GSPO’s Great Composers Series will showcase music by some of the most recognized names in the film music history - John Williams, Leonard Bernstein, Alan Silvestri, John Ottman, Danny Elfman, James Horner, Alfred Newman and Alex North. By special arrangement with Michael Giacchino, GSPO will be playing his music from the TV series LOST, now in its last season. Artistic Director, Steven Allen Fox and Music Director Vic Pesavento have chosen these composers because they admire their artistry and all of the composers have won awards, recognizing their musical contributions.
