Masterpieces celebrates
150 years of music for film and television including themes and cues from Pirates
of the Caribbean,Game of Thrones and Titanic as
well the finale of Saint-Saens Organ Symphony, heard in many
movie soundtracks, including Babe, and Brahms’ 1st Symphony from Die
Hard 3, aka Die Hard With A Vengeance. In a case of life
imitating art imitating life, Elizabeth Pitcairn will display virtuosity and
lyricism as she performs John Corigliano’s The Red Violin: Chaconne for
Violin and Orchestra on the real “Red Violin,” a Stradivarius famous
not only for its sound, but it’s unique pigment—the actual violin which
inspired the story of the film The Red Violin and it’s
Oscar-winning score.
