Experiencing a great film score can have a lifelong impact. Composers such as Bernard Herrmann, Max Steiner, Ennio Morricone and John Williams have engraved iconic scenes into our collective memory with their extraordinary music, even if the rest of the movie might have faded.

Over the years the Oscars have seen some of the greatest moments in film music history. Just ahead of the Big Show, join concert pianist and film-music fanatic Rachel Franklin as she leads an immersive journey through 90 years of award-winning movie scores, accompanied by her grand piano and a wide collection of fascinating film clips.

British-born Franklin has been a featured speaker for organizations including the Library of Congress and NPR, exploring intersections among classical and jazz music, film scores, and the fine arts.
