Germaine Franco makes her Royal Albert Hall debut on Saturday, May 30, 2026, as the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra premieres a new Encanto Score Suite as part of its annual Film Music Gala.
The suite featured excerpts from the original score composed by Franco. This will be the debut performance of the suite by the RPO, bringing the vibrant musical world of Disney’s Encanto to one of the world’s most iconic concert stages, alongside a sweeping program of beloved scores from some of the greatest action and adventure films in cinema history.
Conductor Stephen Bell leads both performances, with BBC broadcaster Petroc Trelawny presenting. The program spans a wide variety of classic film scores, from the thrills of Mission: Impossible, Indiana Jones and Jurassic Park; the fantasy and wonder of Star Wars, Harry Potter and E.T.; and the grand heroic landscapes of Gladiator, The Lord of the Rings and Avatar among others.
