Crossroads: Intersections of 20th Century Music and Film
Submitted By Nancy Tubbs
Music at the Mission presents a multi-media performance and film screening. If there's any art form born of the twentieth century, it is cinema. Along with this new genre came the film score. "Crossroad" explores the music of four composers who wrote for both the classical stage and the silver screen: Dmitri Shostakovich, Erich Korngold, Bernard Herrmann and Nino Rota. This program will present both classical chamber works and viewings of film excerpts accompanied live by our chamber players, and will explore the huge effect these classical composers had on the art of movie making.
Performers include: Robin Mayforth Violin, Karen Shinozaki Sor, Violin, Mike Corner, Clarinet, Emily Onderdonk, Viola, Michael Graham, Cello, Bill Everett, Double Bass, Aileen Chanco, Piano and Loren Mach, Percussion
The program includes: Nino Rota Clarinet Trio op.28 Erich Wolfgang Korngold Quintet op. 15 Bernard Hermann Souvenirs de Voyage Dmitri Shostakovich String Quartet no. 8 With Film Excerpts from: Battleship Potemkin (1926), The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938), Psycho (1960), The Godfather (1972)
