  • Eos Orchestra

    Film-Harmonic

    The classical music establishment has rediscovered film music as a serious art form, but rarely do film and orchestra meet in concert. Today on Soundcheck we look at two ensembles that are finding inspiration in the interplay of film and concert stages. Jonathan Sheffer, artistic director of the Eos Orchestra sheds light on his ensemble’s uses of the celluloid image. And Joshua Cody, director of the Ensemble Sospeso gives us a sneak preview of the contemporary-music group’s new program of multimedia works at the Angel Orensanz Center – one that includes Tibetan chant, a sitcom laugh track, hardcore punk, electronica, John Cage, and flamenco. Speaking of visually-oriented concerts, Billboard’s Anastasia Tsioulcas drops by with a review of Satalla, a psychedelic new venue for world-music performances.
