The London Symphony Orchestra is sad to hear of the death of one of its long-time collaborators, the film composer James Horner.

The Orchestra's relationship with Horner began in the early 1980s with the score to Peter Yates' Krull, and continued for over 20 years. The list of films we collaborated on includes Aliens, Honey I Shrunk the Kids, Legends of the Fall and the 1995 Mel Gibson epic, Braveheart, many of which were nominated for, and won, Oscars, Golden Globes, Grammys and BAFTAs.
