Event summary

Highlights

Live symphonic orchestra performing in sync with the 1984 film
Conducted by Peter Bernstein, son of the original composer
Kickoff performance for a month-long national tour
Modern adaptation of Elmer Bernstein's Academy Award-winning style score

This event offers a unique cinematic experience by pairing a full-screen screening of the classic film with a live orchestral performance of its music. The production involves a high level of precision as the musicians must remain perfectly in-sync with the action on the screen. Conducted by Peter Bernstein, the concert seeks to keep the legacy of the original score alive for new generations of fans.

To prepare for the tour, the original 1984 orchestration was updated for a modern symphonic ensemble. This process included using current technology to condense the original five-keyboard arrangement into a version suitable for two keyboards. The goal of the adaptation is to maintain the musical intent of the 1980s recording while meeting the acoustic expectations of contemporary theater audiences.

The Spokane performance at the historic Bing Crosby Theater is the first stop on a tour that travels across the United States. Attendees can experience the film’s visual impact and audio power in a way that differs from traditional movie screenings, emphasizing the role of the musical score in the storytelling process.
