A few weeks ago TLC
reported that the London Symphony Orchestra were planning to do a tour of the US. They were scheduled to perform music from soundtracks written by the likes of John Williams, including the PoA score. The "Music of Hollywood" tour, as it was named, has now been
cancelled due to bad ticket sales for the event.
Quote:
Bown said he hopes to reschedule the tour for dates in 2006, when the London Symphony Orchestra is again available. He said his relationship with the celebrated London orchestra is ''still intact.''
Quote:
Jeff Bown, the Nashville-based promoter who organized the ''Music of Hollywood'' tour, yesterday blamed the cancellation in part on the unsettled economy, which he says leaves potential patrons less willing to part with disposable income.
Quote:
Bown was hoping the Nashville stop would bring as many as 10,000 movie lovers to the arena for music from such popular films as Harry Potter, Titanic, The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Indiana Jones and The Pink Panther.

Ticketmaster officials said ticket holders seeking refunds should return to the outlets where they purchased tickets. Those who bought tickets by phone or online should call Ticketmaster at 255-9600 for information on how to proceed.
