MOVING MOVIE MUSIC

An intriguing concert of music in film, hosted by WFMT’s LaRob K. Rafael. The concert centerpiece is George S. Clinton’s stunning The Rose of Sonora, narrated by Rafael with violin soloist Holly Mulcahy and the Allegrezza singers. From the melancholy of Samuel Barber’s Adagio for Strings and sweetness of Ennio Morricone’s Cinema Paradiso to the boisterous American in Paris by George Gershwin, this program runs the gamut of emotions.
