ASA is continuing its summer season, celebrating the 25th anniversary of Ron Howard’s inspiring docudrama Apollo 13. We’ll set course towards James Horner, who delivered a noble and regal score, unique in its simplicity and originality, and elevated the picture to its place in history. We’ve selected six cues from the movie and we’ll take apart Horner’s work to find out exactly how it was put together.

Along with our ASA study panel, our special guest will be Steve Bramson, who was Horner’s orchestrator on this film. Steve will contribute his insights on the score as well as the process of working alongside Horner to deliver and prepare the score that millions have enjoyed.

As with all our events, we welcome your interactive comments and questions and look forward to a lively discussion as we all learn the secrets of the score of Apollo 13.

Check out highlights from the first installment of our Apollo 13 score study. Orchestra and Philharmonic members have access to the full video.
