Cinematic Adventures: Lincoln Civic Orchestra
Sunday, April 13 at 4 p.m.
O鈥橠onnell Auditorium, Vance D. Rogers Center for Fine Arts
The Lincoln Civic Orchestra takes the audience to the movies! Before the invention of the moving picture, composers began composing "programmatic" music designed to tell specific stories, or reflect specific images. Ottorino Respighi's Pines of Rome is such a work, and the orchestra will begin the concert with a performance of its finale; The Pines of the Appian Way. The orchestra will then move forward in time, celebrating highlights from recent film scores such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Apollo 13, Band of Brothers, Lord of the Rings, and Star Wars.
