Narnia Suite Premiere

An eager fan recently attended the premiere of Harry Gregson-Williams’s Narnia Suite in Denver, saying: The concert was wonderful-the suite was made up of all the main themes from the film and the highlight for everyone seemed to be the fourth movement: The Battle of Beruna. There were 3 screens in Boettcher Hall and they displayed still photos as well as clips from the film while the music was being played. Another highlight was a taped introduction by William Moseley and Anna Popplewell from the set of Prince Caspian. Visit NarniaFans.com for the full report and to see photos from the event.
