From the BSO:

SATURDAY, AUGUST 20 – FILM NIGHT AT TANGLEWOOD

One of the season's most enduring and popular traditions, the annual Film Night at Tanglewood concert August 20 celebrates the music of the movies. This summer, John Williams and the Boston Pops are joined by frequent collaborator Gil Shaham in a program featuring film music arranged for violin and orchestra, including Gardel’s Por Una Cabeza (Tango from Scent of a Woman), three pieces from Schindler’s List, and excerpts from Fiddler on the Roof. Also on the program will be Mr. Williams’s nostalgic evocation of early 20th-century America from the 1969 The Reivers, based on the book of the same name by William Faulkner, with special guest Morgan Freeman as narrator. Along with The Reivers, Williams will lead the orchestra in a salute to the Hollywood Western, including John Dunbar’s Theme from Dances with Wolves, the theme from Alfred Newman's How the West Was Won, and Williams’s own The Cowboys Overture.

Three pieces from Schindler's List? Is it at all likely one of those is Yeroushalayim Shel Zahav?

No. That would be 'Theme', 'Remembrances' and 'Jewish Town'.

I might not go this year. Saving a little extra for Disney World in a couple weeks.

I feel like the atmosphere at Tanglewood on Film Night is a bit wrong for Schindler, at least for me personally. As performed by Gil Shaham and the Pops on the album TreeSong, the suite brings me to tears. It's too sad!

I'm selling 2 tickets with great seats to this show! I would love to use them myself but can't get out of school. It really is a must-see. I'm selling the tix together for $210 or best offer. Thats how much I bought the pair for.

Please email or call me if you're interested.
