WCPE Assistant Music Director Kenneth Bradshaw announces a weekend-long extravaganza celebrating Great Classical Music in the cinema, August 13-14, 2011. Throughout this two-day festival, WCPE will share music from films ranging from timeless to obscure. Theres newer music written for the movie, and old masterpieces that make the movie. On Saturday you may request your favorite cinema classic at http://theclassicalstation.org/features_request.shtml.
Movies are a part of the fabric of life, says Bradshaw, who is also the host of Allegro. And music has been a major part of the movie experience from the beginning.
So many of the movies in which Classical music has had a role have touched usmade us cry, made us laugh or left an indelible impression, he adds. So grab the popcorn as we remember the music and movies that have been a part of our lives.
