Some of today’s most inventive classical composers are finding Hollywood to be a place where their work is increasingly embraced — and in demand. On this edition of Extra Eclectic, we hear highlights from a special concert at the 2024 BBC Proms Festival celebrating some of these creative cinematic sounds. Host Steve Seel brings us music by Son Lux from Everything, Everywhere, All at Once, Bryce Dessner from Sing Sing, Hildur Gudnadottir from Tar and more. Listen now!
