Concert Will Feature Classic Film Music

Ensemble of classical musicians to perform music from a variety of favorite films.

The following was provided by the Firebrand Concert Series: 

On Saturday, Nov. 30 at 7:30 p.m., the Firebrand Concert Series will present an evening of music from classic films. Against a backdrop of movie stills, violinist Peter Stickel, cellist Diana Golden, and pianist Yelena Beriyeva will perform themes from The Godfather, Star Wars, The Red Violin, James Bond, Rocky, Dirty Dancing, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, Charlie Brown, Harry Potter, and more.

The ensemble of classical musicians chose to perform movie music “in the spirit of the holiday weekend,” says cellist and Firebrand’s Artistic Director Diana Golden. “Classical musicians take their genre so seriously, and it can be rejuvenating for both musicians and audience members to hear repertoire on the fringe of what is typically considered concert music.”
