The KSO is going to the movies! Our next concert features a program filled with symphonic film music favourites. There are two performances of this highly entertaining concert; Friday, March 8 and Saturday, March 9 at 7:30. Due to the repairs to the roof truss in Sagebrush Theatre, this concert will be taking place in Oasis Church (formerly known as Calvary Temple), at 1205 Rogers Way.
The power of music to enhance the emotions in a scene goes back well before film into the early days of theatre. With a rich history going back to silent films, music has been used to help create the atmosphere in film and television since the very beginning. The score can help us feel the tension in a suspenseful scene, swell our emotions in a beautiful romantic moment, and fill us with hope and wonder as the hero saves the day.
KSO At The Movies features a wide range of stirring film scores, going back to the first music ever to be featured in a short film with Saint-Saëns’ Assassinat du Duc de Guise, Silent Film era music composed by Charlie Chaplin, as well as more recent favourites like Nino Rota’s The Godfather, John Williams’ Theme From ET and Schindler’s List, and Howard Shore’s Lord of the Rings score. Television music will also be featured, with epic music from Game of Thrones by Ramin Djawadi.
The soloist for this concert is KSO’s concertmaster, Cvetozar Vutev. Cvetozar moved to Kamloops in 2005 and has been playing and teaching violin in the Kamloops area since.
