Oscar Concert

It was a breath-taking and historical event. For the first time EVER the Academy Studio Symphony presented all the nominated soundtracks and songs. Imagine the concert hall at UCLA filled with other musicians, composers and scholars from all over the world, then close your eyes and turn up the volume for your favorite movie and put it in ultra-surround sound with 108 LIVE performers. It was transcendent. The visuals were projected on a huge screen - no need for dialogue. My heart actually leapt into my chest during the soundtrack from Gravity and the audience leapt to its feet at least three times. John Williams was like a little Yoda Master, the moderator (formerly from South Chicago) was in his own enormous heaven and I was transported to another place and time in experiencing the power of music. I will never forget the evening!
