SyncMan 314 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I attended an LTP concert of Apollo 13 by the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra and, a few weeks afterwards, I got this email from the orchestra's marketing department where the subject reads... " Help us plan 2020-2021 Films with Live Orchestra season." It's a survey where I select the programs that I feel are the most 'favorable.' https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/DPOFilms Here's what it looks like: All of the LTP concerts I recognize expect the one that is marked in the red box. I checked these production companies that work on LTP concerts. Film Concerts Live Avex Classics International DisneyConcerts Columbia Artists Big-Screen Productions Schirmer Theatrical None of them do not have Avatar in their roster. I reached out to the administrative department at the DPO and I have spoken with a member of the marketing department to see if I can have the name of the production company that created the Avatar program. That person didn't have the information nor would that person be at liberty to provide that information to me. During a three-week period, I've sent emails to a few more members in the development department at the DPO--they are the ones that select music programs for the DPO to play--to see if they can provide me with that information. They have not returned my query. So, now you know what I know. Maybe some of you members with connections can find-out more information better than me. I wouldn't put it pass James Cameron to have a LTP concert made of Avatar as a way to promote his sequel, which isn't due out in theaters until December of 2021. Say, maybe @NL197 might know. ----------------------------------------------------------- Edit: March 5, 2024 https://www.avexclassicsinternational.co.uk/avatar World Premiere at the Royal Albert Hall, London, England on October 27, 2024 https://www.royalalberthall.com/tickets/events/2024/avatar-live-in-concert/ Ensemble: The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra The National Youth Choir Ludwig Wicki, conductor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NL197 368 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 We've not heard a single word about an Avatar concert, and honestly like Aliens and Titanic, it would be yet another "Cameronized" experience that would frustrate anyone who knows the score and how cut up it is. That being said, if such a thing does become a reality, of course we will be obligated to talk about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NL197 368 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'd pay to see a concert with the score as-written, but that just does not happen and will never happen with any Cameron film. Those films would have to be changed because the music as-written doesn't fit by and large for Titanic and Avatar. Only Aliens would survive intact without having to change the film.

Trent B 337 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 They had a great opportunity to use the original cue for "The Hunt" in the longest extended edition but instead used track music from "War" which was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NL197 368 Posted November 4, 2019 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I'm going to work to make "Cameronized" a proper term. It went over well with the inner circle of the composer. Demondm810 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crocodile 7,990 Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Thing about those kinds of hybrid scores is that they will be nowhere near as exciting as purely symphonic scores. Many elements will be most likely pre-recorded. I went to see Black Panther last year and it didn't feel all that exciting, other than having Mossamba Diop perform some talking drum solos.

Thor 7,478 Posted March 5 Share Posted March 5 An LtP event, I could give or take, but a concert of AVATAR music sans images I'd attend in a heartbeat! Since that ain't gonna happen, I suppose this is the closest thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leeallen01 2,134 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Got my ticket. Just to the side of the stage so I can watch the musicians. I don't watch the screen when I'm at a live to film concert. I can watch it in my own living room. I'm on my way home as I write this, from Return of the King concert at the Royal Albert Hall. Incredible as always. So many changes to the original score presentation. So much added music that wasn't there before and is not in the film itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crocodile 7,990 Posted Tuesday at 12:34 PM Share Posted Tuesday at 12:34 PM Decided to go to this. The fact they are using real choir and soloists makes me more optimistic about this. Plus (almost) any live Horner is good. Karol SyncMan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SyncMan 314 Posted Wednesday at 01:28 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 01:28 PM According to the renter's page, here is the ensemble used for that concert: https://www.avexclassicsinternational.co.uk/performances The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra The National Youth Choir Ludwig Wicki, conductor Why the RAH doesn't credit the ensemble is anyone's guess. Spoiler BTW, did anyone notice that the Aliens LTP concert is no longer on the Avex's roster? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Ware 526 Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:48 PM Avex also lists the sequel, but it does not appear to have any bookings yet - https://www.avexclassicsinternational.co.uk/avatar-the-way-of-water-live 1 hour ago, SyncMan said: BTW, did anyone notice that the Aliens LTP concert is no longer on the Avex's roster?
