2010 Music Festival:
January 18-24, 2010
EXPLORING MUSIC IN FILM
from classical inspirations to modern masters
The theme is the art of music in film. Chamber music pieces based on musical material originally created for screen and works by composers more frequently identified as film composers are highlighted, plus classical music that has inspired artists and filmmakers. Pushing it further, Laguna Beach-based IMAX filmmaker Greg MacGillivray has created a 13-minute film from his academy award nominated film, "The Living Sea," to be shown at each of the Festival concerts with different scores composed by three different composers played live.
