    Thought you might like this @DangerMotif.
     
    For FOTR at Radio City last February, they used Ukrainian musicians.  What orchestra they are going to use to stiff the local NY players on this one.

    Hmm, if it was titled "The Story In Music" than it would be the same as this, but it has a different title, so I guess we don't know what will be played!
     
    Maybe @mahler3 can reveal it to us.

    SyncMan got a reaction from ConorPower in Fiddler on the Roof (1971 film featuring music adaptation by John Williams) - Live-to-Projection Concert   
    For those of you who use the website, Movies in Concert, to see what film-music concerts are playing nearest you: don’t count on the site listing any performance schedules of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’.  The site doesn’t list live-action musicals like, Mary Poppins or the film-versions of West Side Story; but they list animated musicals, like Beauty and the Beast or Aladdin.
     
    Film Concerts Live! does list performance schedules of their rentals, but they have a bad reputation of not listing them as soon as the venues/orchestras start selling tickets of the FCL concerts on their websites.  FCL does get around to listing them much later, but when that happens, all the good seats are taken.  For example, on FCL’s web-pages of Home Alone and Raiders, I don’t see the listings of these rentals that will be used by the National Concert Hall in Dublin, Ireland (that @Incanusgratuitously reported to us).

    Perhaps, Citi Light Concerts in Switzerland may be quick to book ‘Fiddler’.  They just did the LTP concert of Chicago (2002) a few weeks ago.
     
    So, if any of you know a venue that is doing this concert, please share that info, here.

    SyncMan got a reaction from Bayesian in What Live To Projection concerts have you seen and not seen?   
    @BayesianI'm glad that you enjoyed your first LTP concert.  
     
    Yeah, the San Fran Symphony does more of these LTP concerts per season than any orchestra in the USA.  I was over there last July for 'The Matrix' LTP concert (surprisingly enough, no USA orchestras are giving that). Each season, they up the number of these concerts from the previous season--in the 2023/24 season alone, they have 11 LTP concerts, covering September through June.  My standouts from their upcoming schedule would be 'Casino Royale', 'LOTR:TFOTR', and 'Gladiator' (another LTP that no USA orchestra has done, much).  They are also doing SW:TESB.  Lots to choose from in their schedule.
     
    BTW: The hall where the San Fran Symphony performs regularly--Davies Symphony Hall--does a Harry Potter LTP concert every August, but they don't involve the said orchestra as they are on break.

    This image now appears among the rentals in Disney Concerts' website.
    https://www.disneyconcerts.com/concerts/
     

     
    This portion of the image interests me.

     
    So, does that mean, from here on end, if an orchestra wants to do a rental of the ROTLA LTP concert, they have to go to Disney Concerts and not to Film Concerts Live!, anymore?
     
    For posterity, here is a page of a digital program from a July 2023 concert of the ROTLA LTP from the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra where it reads that the rental is 'produced by Film Concerts Live!'
     

     
    Here is a page from the Pacific Symphony Orchestra's digital program from last August's Raiders LTP concert that has the Disney Concerts logo.

     
    Here are some other images from other orchestras/venues using the Raiders LTP-concert rental from Disney where their Disney Concerts logo and/or copyright notice are displayed.


    Could Disney Concerts' control of the Raiders LTP rental mean that they are finally going to do something about creating more LTP concerts of the Indiana Jones films?

    This is just a theory, so don't take anything I'm saying here as fact - but Mark Graham recently posted on Instagram this picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/CvdIKBiSt4Z/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA. I recognise the cue as being Riding the Lizard from Revenge of the Sith. The recent date in the bottom left seems to imply that this version of the score has been prepared recently (and that he's not just looking in the archives for fun). (Keep in mind I have no idea how the JKMS library is set up - this could mean nothing). Perhaps this part of the score is being prepared for a future concert (which seems an odd choice), or maybe even an LTP performance of Revenge of the Sith (though the formatting is a little different to other LTP scores I've seen).. Any thoughts?

    SyncMan got a reaction from Jay in The Official James Horner Thread   
    Of particular interest is that UCLA's Royce Hall presents one LTP concert every November, courtesy of the Amercian Youth Symphony Orchestra.  Since 2015, their LTP concerts have all been from the production company 'Film Concerts Live', probably because one of the orchestra's board members, Steven Linder, is the co-founder of FCL.  In November 2019, the American Youth Symphony Orchestra presented the 'Apollo 13' LTP concert. 
     
    The article says that the Horner collection will be available to researchers in the fall. I am wondering whether UCLA, the American Youth Symphony, and FCL will get together to present an LTP concert of a film featuring a Horner score this November as a way to inaugurate the collection--for awareness and/or fundraising opportunities.
     
    Definitely a good way to spend a week-long vacation for a film-music fan--studying composer's scores for days and caping the final evening with an LTP concert.

    Thanks for your email with the link to your video!
     
    Since I am quite familiar with say 90% of the score (never saw the movie until a couple of years back but have known the score since like 1990) I am almost certain that I would have noticed these extremely busy sections during the quake sequence. So, I think there were dramaturgical gaps...
     
    ...maybe @ConorPower can confirm this?
     
    Now I wish to have attended both performances... LOL
     
    T'was over way too quickly and you cannot possibly appreciate all aspects at once; as I said before:  LTP is as much a challenge as it is pure bliss for those who care...
