October 2, 2009 Hollywood in Vienna Gala Concert John Barry to receive first Max Steiner Award  The City of Vienna will present five-time Oscar winner Barry with the newly established Max Steiner Life Achievement Award, named for the prolific, Viennese-born pioneer of film music whose Hollywood career spanned more than thirty years. The concert program will include highlights from several of Barry's most famous scores, including Out of Africa and Dances with Wolves, as well as a James Bond suite. Barry is scheduled to accept the award in person. The program will also feature selections by other prominent composers, including Casablanca (Max Steiner), Lawrence of Arabia (Maurice Jarre), Seven Years in Tibet (John Williams), Silverado (Bruce Broughton) and The Day After Tomorrow (Harald Kloser). Composers Broughton and Kloser will be in attendance, along with composer David Arnold (Quantum of Solace) and Bond producer Barbara Broccoli.  The concert is the second in a series that began in 2007, which marked the first time that film music was performed in a major Viennese venue. Composers Barry, Broughton, Arnold, Kloser and conductor Dodd will participate in an international film music symposium October 9 and 10 at the Vienna University for Music and Performing Arts.
