Emmy-winning conductor Michael Kosarin will lead the ORF Radio Symphony Orchestra and Cantus Novus Wien playing in tribute to Menken.

A NIGHT AT THE OSCARS

“In 1989, THE LITTLE MERMAID marked Disney’s glorious return to the genre of the grand fairy tale musical. Music was more important than ever for these big screen masterpieces, breathing life into the skillfully animated fairy tale worlds. One name shaped the films of the so-called “Golden 90s” and beyond like no other: Alan Menken.

Besides THE LITTLE MERMAID, the composer wrote scores and songs for the modern Disney classics BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, ALADDIN, POCAHONTAS, THE HUNCHBACK OF NOTRE DAME and many more and lend the Disney’s dream worlds their unmistakable sound.”
