Last Thursday FSO had the honor of being in charge of entertaining a Gala as important as the presentation of the II Juan Gil Bodegas Familiares International Soundtrack Award. We premiered the award-winning work organized by the winery group in front of no more and no less than 1,600 guests, some of whom were honored. It was an exciting concert with a multitude of surprises in which the prize was awarded to the fair winner of the contest, Ana Kasrashvili, and a magical night accompanied by figures such as Patrick Doyle, Roque Baños, Lucio Godoy, Imanol Arias, Jon Arias , Carlos Santos…
The winning piece was 'The True Treasure' for the short film 'Esencia', shot exclusively for the contest. Furthermore, as we already told you several weeks ago, our director Constantino Martínez-Orts was one of the members of the jury for this contest. FSO was in charge of providing music to the event in addition to representing the piece, with a concert in which some of the best soundtracks in history were performed. Compositions that aroused the emotions and applause of those present, such as the soundtracks of 'The Magnificent 7' and 'Doctor Zhivago'.
