San Francisco Symphony: The Spy Who Loved Me – Music from the Bond Films & Favorite Spy Movie Themes Concert Recommended

When: Thu., July 23, 7:30 p.m. 2015
Price: $20-$99

I Spy: San Francisco Symphony Does James Bond

With themes ranging from sultry and seductive to tense and action packed, the music of the James Bond film series has played an integral part of the franchise's success since the beginning; with the staccato guitar of the iconic introduction, theme song instrumentals, and chart-topping hits such as Shirley Bassey's powerful "Goldfinger," the soundtracks for the movies have provided key elements to the characters' portrayal — some might say just as important as the actor playing 007 himself.

Loyal fans of Bond will want to contact Q Branch and set their sights on the city Thursday, where the San Francisco Symphony will perform a slate of classic tunes at "The Spy Who Loved Me," a concert featuring special guest vocalist Sheena Easton, who sang the theme song to 1981's For Your Eyes Only.

Although no film clips will be shown, the music should have no problem evoking the thrilling feelings that propel the movies — the program will feature a wide variety of music from the Bond discography, as well as selections from other spy movies, including Mission: Impossible and Austin Powers.

Don't forget to pre-order a martini at the bar for intermission — shaken, not stirred, of course.

  • clipping at Brava Theater Sept. 11
    Sub Pop recording artists 'clipping.' brought their brand of noise-driven experimental hip hop to the closing night of 2016's San Francisco Electronic Music Fest this past Sunday. The packed Brava Theater hosted an initially seated crowd that ended the night jumping and dancing against the front of the stage. The trio performed a set focused on their recently released Sci-Fi Horror concept album, 'Splendor & Misery', then delved into their dancier and more aggressive back catalogue, and recent single 'Wriggle'. Opening performances included local experimental electronic duo 'Tujurikkuja' and computer music artist 'Madalyn Merkey.'"
