This took place on Oct 20 and folks have uploaded short clips to social media. But I'm hoping to find the complete concert. Video too, if possible.

Hollywood directors J. J. Abrams and Matt Reeves will join their friend and collaborator, movie music titan Michael Giacchino, at the composer�s 50th birthday party at the Royal Albert Hall later this month.
Abrams (Star Trek, Lost, Star Wars: Episode VII) and War for the Planet of the Apes filmmaker Reeves have been added to the stellar line-up of Giacchino�s first ever major career retrospective, which will showcase his scores from the likes of Rogue One, Spider-Man: Homecoming, Super 8, Jurassic World, The Incredibles, and Up � for which he won an Oscar, BAFTA, Grammy and Golden Globe.
Michael Giacchino said: �I am honoured that these incredible filmmakers are taking the time out of their schedules to join me on that stage at the Royal Albert Hall.
�I am fortunate to call them friends, and thrilled that they will be there to celebrate with me. In many ways, this is their show as well, because it was their vision and storytelling that inspired the music we�ll be performing with the Cinematic Sinfonia that evening.�
Abrams and Reeves complete a virtual �who�s who� of hot Hollywood filmmaking talent appearing on-stage at Michael Giacchino at 50, alongside Brad Bird, Pete Docter, Gareth Edwards, Andrew Stanton, Colin Trevorrow and Carlton Cuse. They�ll be on hand to introduce musical suites from their films � and to share the stories behind them.
The concert will be hosted by self-described �maker of things� Adam Savage, (from US TV sensation Mythbusters), who said: �As a movie geek, it�s insane to think that Michael has penned music for many of my all-time favorite movies � hell, I think I have a costume or prop from nearly every one of his scored films! Being his friend is the icing on the cake. Emceeing his birthday at the Royal Albert Hall?! I have to pinch myself. It�s going to be a stellar evening and I can�t wait.�
Also announced today are Bond, the best-selling string quartet, who will play a new arrangement of �Married Life� with orchestra, from Giacchino�s Oscar-winning score to Up.
Giacchino himself will share conducting duties with maestro Ludwig Wicki, a familiar face to fans of the Hall�s acclaimed �Films in Concert� series, and the program will span Giacchino�s musical work from across the last 20 years, as well as giving the audience a personal glimpse of the composer through stories and home movies from his childhood.
Abrams and Giacchino have worked together since the hit TV series, Alias, and on feature films including Star Trek, Mission: Impossible 3, and Super 8. Reeves and Giacchino have collaborated four times, their most recent project being this summer�s critically acclaimed War for the Planet of the Apes.
