Tobias we'll ALWAYS have a seat for you my friend, always! We'll miss you, but I'm glad we were able to get Graeme Revell there for you. You were the first person after I got confirmation he was coming that I told so that you could gather up your covers before you flew over. I can't remember, but I think you may have already been headed over here. Least I tried buddy

Robert Townson will be there as well THE flutist for all these great Varese concerts as well as a session musician who plays on some truly cool films in Los Angeles, Sara Andon.

We will have two panels and all the fun starts at 1PM. Our panel moderators this year again are super agent Mr. Richard Kraft from the Kraft-Engel Agency as well as Mr. Daniel Schweiger host of On the Score. The event will take place again at the beautiful Beverly Garland Hotel in their spacious Grand Ballroom. We plan on having our dealers room open as well. The Garland has supplied us with a special discounted rate which I'll give out that special link to those who pre-register and are confirmed as going! After each panel we'll have a short and sweet autograph signing where each fan will be allowed three items of their choice. So pick your top three from these talented folks to get autographed! This will be strictly enforced due to time constraints. Our time as well as the composers time is very limited and we need everyone working together so we can get these composers in and out as fast as we can.
We may have a few smaller get togethers in between these events, like possibly something Saturday around lunch time and/or a get together after the second panel on Sunday October 20th. We'll let you know for sure.

There will be no refunds given once you pre-register and pay for the event. Composers are scheduled to appear, but sometimes their schedules change at the very last second and are unable to attend. This happens sometimes in Hollywood. We'll keep you updated on any changes that may take place through this Facebook page as well as the official website, www.fansoffilmmusic.com. More composers will be added once we get confirmations from them in the coming weeks and month(s).
PS: This was taken from our Facebook page, Fans of Film Music, where we announce every so often a composer who is coming. That is why Randy is up at the top as a special mention. We mentioned him today as coming and then went into the announcement of the event. All the other composers have been given the same announcement as Randy, but earlier on.

Jason great to hear!
BIG NEWS!
I would like to announce another composer to this years Fans of Film Music 4 event set for October 20th.
Mr. Joseph LoDuca!
You may know his music from the original Evil Dead movie series directed by Sam Raimi and the Army of Darkness film. Joseph has had many fine albums released on Varese Sarabande's label. Here are a few of them: several soundtracks from the Xena Warrior Princess TV show, as well as several from the Hercules TV show, the original Evil Dead films, Army of Darkness, Young Hercules, and a few CD's from the TV show Spartacus. His Spartacus scores are his newest creation and I have to tell you they are absolutely phenomenal. I had not seen the film, but received the CD's to listen to and I can honestly say without a doubt I was blown away by all three of them.
Varese Sarabande has several of his scores available to order on their website, www.varesesarabande.com. Do a search in the upper right corner for LoDuca.
I can't wait to have you all meet Mr. LoDuca in October!
We also have a specially priced HOTEL code for guests who fly in and want to stay at the hotel where the event is, the Beverly Garland Hotel. Here is the link
