Dallas, Texas (PRWEB) February 04, 2015
The Dallas Chamber Symphony’s 2014-2015 season continues with a concert on February 17th, 2015 that will feature a new score for "Bumping Into Broadway"(1919) by highly-prolific film composer Rolfe Kent. The boy-meets-girl silent comedy features Harold Lloyd’s famous “glasses” character and is widely regarded as one of his strongest romantic comedies ever made. Tickets are available at http://www.dallaschambersymphony.com
Rolfe Kent is a U.K.-based film composer who has scored more than 50 films, including Academy Award-nominated "Up In The Air" (for which he won a Golden Satellite award), "Sideways" (for which he was nominated for a Golden Globe and received a Critics Choice Award), "Young Adult," "Charlie St. Could," "About Schmidt," "Mean Girls," "Legally Blond" and "Legally Blond II," "Wedding Crashers," "The Matador," "Reign Over Me," "The Hunting Party," "The Ghosts Of Girlfriends Past," and "Thank You For Not Smoking." Kent also composed the Emmy-nominated main title theme for the Showtime hit, "Dexter." In 2012, he received the Richard Kirk award for career achievement.
The evening’s program also features Copland’s Appalachian Spring Suite (original ballet suite for 13 instruments) and Ruth Crawford Seeger’s Music for Small Orchestra.
The Dallas Chamber Symphony is pleased to welcome Jun Iwasaki as guest-concertmaster for the evening. Mr. Iwasaki maintains a strong local following, while also serving as concertmaster of the Nashville Symphony. Iwaskai is a graduate of the Cleveland Institute of Music’s prestigious Concertmaster Academy, and has been hailed for his combination of dazzling technique and lyrical musicianship. In a review of Iwasaki’s performance at the Mimir Chamber Music Festival, the Fort Worth Star Telegram called him “the magician of the evening. He could reach into his violin and pull out bouquets of sound, then reach behind your ear and touch your soul.”
The concert will be held on Tuesday, February 17th at City Performance Hall (2520 Flora Street, Dallas, Texas 75201). It will begin at 8:00 p.m. Individual tickets are available for $19-$44 each.
