Hollywood Spectacular brings iconic film scores to life in a cinematic orchestral experience produced by Symphony San Jose at the historic California Theatre in downtown San Jose. This performer-led program spotlights beloved music from blockbuster films, performed by a full symphonic ensemble with cinematic visuals and expert narration.
