Trevor Jones to headline Sonafilm festival closing in Ondara
Film composer Trevor Jones will appear as a special guest at the closing of the eighth edition of the Sonafilm festival in Ondara, Spain. The event, held at the Ondara bullring, features the Universal Symphony Orchestra, a group composed of Valencian musicians.
The concert, titled ‘The Era of Empires,’ will perform iconic scores including ‘The Last of the Mohicans,’ ‘Ben-Hur,’ ‘Gladiator,’ ‘Troy,’ and ‘The Last Samurai.’ Jones, a 77-year-old South African composer with a career spanning nearly half a century, expressed that hearing his music performed live is a ‘dream come true.’
Jones also noted that Spain is a leader in the promotion of film music, highlighting that festivals like Sonafilm provide unique opportunities to bring classic scores to modern audiences in a way that is less common in the United Kingdom or the United States.
