(Orlando, FL – September 7, 2005) – The
Orlando Philharmonic Orchestra takes a musical trip
to the movies for the first program in the 2005 - 2006
Darden Family Series, titled Music in the
Movies. The program is held
on Sunday, October 23 at the Bob Carr Performing Arts
Centre, 401 W. Livingston Street, Orlando. The Darden
Family Series is sponsored by Darden Restaurants Foundation.
Media Sponsors for the Darden Family Series are WFTV
9 Family Connection and Orlando Sentinel Communications.
The programs in this award-winning series are designed
to demystify the world of classical music for children
of all ages with concert experiences that are as educational
as they are entertaining. The program begins
at 2:00 PM with a variety of pre-concert interactive
activities, including instrument petting zoos, the
popular conducting station, movie games and more.
The
concert begins at 3:00 PM, featuring a fun-filled program
conducted by Principal Pops and Resident Conductor
Andrew Lane. Filled with sights and sounds, the
audience is invited to clap and sing along to their
favorite songs. Complete with video screens and
movie clips, the program highlights music’s important
role in the enjoyment of movies - how it depicts the
film’s mood, emphasizes emotions and enhances
the overall enjoyment of the movie. The
Philharmonic will have some fun with movies as they
perform different styles of music to the same movie
scene – to emphasize how the music changes the
feeling of the clip.
Featured on the program are scenes from the popular
new movie Tugger, the Jeep that Wanted
to Fly, which was produced in Orlando.
Composer Greg Sims, who wrote the music to the movie,
joins the Philharmonic to explain what ideas he had
when composing the music with a lighthearted demonstration. Also
featured on the program is music from Harry
Potter, William Tell and Star
Wars - with a surprise visit from a Star
Wars character!
Come
and enjoy this musical trip to the movies! Filled with
fun, excitement and laughter, audiences young and old
will be sure to enjoy this family friendly concert
experience.
