New Philharmonic presents A Night at the Movies. Conducted by Maestro Kirk Muspratt, New Philharmonic performs music from a dozen films from over the decades, including To Kill a Mockingbird, The Pink Panther, Beauty and the Beast, Jurassic Park, and more.
Muspratt says that the “film scores greatly enhance the experience of the movie. When we hear the music years later, for a moment we’re transported back in time, experiencing feelings and remembering people we may not have thought about for a while.”
The program for A Night at the Movies includes:
Max Steiner’s Tara from Gone with the Wind (1939)
Eight time Academy Award winner, Gone with the Wind is the highest grossing film of all time, when adjusted for inflation.
