Summary John Wilson has established an enviable reputation as a conductor, arranger, and scholar, recognised internationally as an expert in the specialist fields of light music, jazz, and music for screen. In this prom, John Wilson and his orchestra are joined by a formidable line-up of today's vocal stars in a celebration of the Golden Age of Hollywood film musicals. Hooray for Hollywood takes us from the dawn of the talkies and the birth of the movie musical through to the 1960s.
