RODGERS AND HAMMERSTEIN
AT THE MOVIES

Saturday, January 23, 8 p.m. Van Wezel

Come experience the genius of Rodgers and Hammerstein, winners of 15 Academy Awards and 34 Tony Awards. Legendary film moments from Oklahoma!, Carousel, State Fair, The King and I, South Pacific and The Sound of Music will be projected in HD onto the big screen. In perfect synchronization with the clips, the Orchestra performs these “show-stopping” masterpieces of American musical theatre.

ELLIS ISLAND:
THE DREAM OF AMERICA

Friday, March 19, 8 p.m. Van Wezel

This program celebrates the American dream through the experience of Ellis Island and the art of Norman Rockwell. The Orchestra performs Peter Boyer’s Ellis Island: The Dream of America. A moving orchestral and visual tapestry, the concert features vintage photos from the Ellis Island archives with live actors reciting short monologues from the journals of seven immigrants who came through Ellis Island. The other half of the concert features Florida-composer Stella Sung’s Rockwell Reflections while nostalgic Rockwell paintings are projected on the big screen.

CITY LIGHTS

Friday, April 16, 8 p.m. Van Wezel

The concert hall transforms into a movie theater as Charlie Chaplin’s 87-minute silent film City Lights is projected on the big screen while the Orchestra performs the movie’s remarkable soundtrack live. Charlie Chaplin not only wrote, directed and starred in this film — he also composed the score. While Chaplin may be most famous for his comedy The Great Dictator in which he bitterly satirized Adolf Hitler, the American Film Institute has named City Lights the best romantic comedy and number one silent film of all time. Albert Einstein attended the Los Angeles premiere of City Lights in 1931. George Bernard Shaw took in the London opening. Get your tickets now and join us on the 121st anniversary of Charlie Chaplin’s birthday.
