Associate Conductor Nicholas Hersh, Principal Librarian Michael Ferraguto, and moderator Allison Burr-Livingstone talk about the preparation of the BSO's 'Movie with Live Orchestra' concerts.  The L2P concert program of SW:TESB is discussed in great detail as the orchestra was scheduled to do this concert this weekend, but was cancelled because of the COVID-19 lockdown.

They also talk about Williams' 2018 appearance with the BSO and his 'first pitch' at Camden Yards the week before the concert.

The rest is just fanboy talk.

Enjoy

 

P.S. 'hope you're reading this @MrScratch

I watched/listened to it this morning.  Yes, a lot of the usual fanboy gushing and familiar trivia about the movie but I found it interesting when the conductor talked about what he and the orchestra have to do to prepare and rehearse for these live to picture concerts.

 

And my god, they tell Williams’ Schindler’s List joke again 🤦‍♂️

I found this one, also from the BSO, where the L2P technical process is discussed with more detail  Here, it's about 'Home Alone.'
