SKYFALL IN CONCERT

ArcBest Performing Arts Center

Film Concerts Live!  is proud to present Skyfall in Concert, the second installment in the James Bond Concert Series, produced in association with EON Productions and Metro Goldwyn Mayer Studios (MGM). Daniel Craig returns as the legendary secret agent in the franchise’s most successful film to date.

Directed by Sam Mendes and scored by BAFTA winner Thomas Newman, Skyfall pits 007 against the ruthless cyberterrorist and former British agent Silva (Javier Bardem). From a thrilling chase across the rooftops of Istanbul to the violent underworld of Macau, Bond’s pursuit of Silva ultimately leads to the streets of London and the very heart of MI6 itself.
