The Princeton Symphony Orchestra and Princeton Public Library are set to kick off the 2014-2015 PSO Soundtracks Series with a screening of Music from the Inside Out.
The screening is scheduled for 7 p.m. Sept. 15 in the library’s community room, 65 Witherspoon St., Princeton.
Music from the Inside Out is a documentary directed by Oscar-nominee Daniel Anker about 105 musicians of the Philadelphia Orchestra. The film includes jazz, bluegrass, salsa, classical, and world music interwoven with musicians’ personal stories, each of which has at its core the universal struggle for self-expression.
The Princeton Symphony’s music director Rossen Milanov served as assistant conductor of the Philadelphia Orchestra for many years, and is glimpsed in the film conducting “Meditation from Thais,” a work which will be performed by the PSO this season.
Admission is free and open to the public. Complimentary popcorn and beverages will be available.
The PSO Soundtracks Series is presented in partnership with the Princeton Public Library, exploring music and related topics, including background on the music that the PSO performs, concert themes, and what happens behind the scenes at Princeton’s only professional orchestra, the PSO.
The screening is a prelude event to the Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s season-opening Classical Series Concert Romantic Imaginings, scheduled for Sept. 28.
