BODY IN MOTION Album to Release Third Single THE LOVERS
The Lovers honors Leonard Slatkin's parents, founding members of the Hollywood String Quartet.
A third single has arrived from the forthcoming album BODY IN MOTION, featuring violinist Kelly Hall-Tompkins and the Los Angeles Chamber Orchestra under conductor Leonard Slatkin. The new track, THE LOVERS, is drawn from Jeff Beal's Concerto for Orchestra and was composed in honor of Slatkin's 80th birthday as well as his parents, Eleanor Aller and Felix Slatkin, founding members of the Hollywood String Quartet. The movement features orchestra musicians violinist Margaret Batjer and cellist Andrew Shulman and is available now on Platoon ahead of the full album's release.
Eleanor Aller was principal cellist at Warner Brothers and Felix Slatkin was concertmaster at Twentieth Century Fox. Together, they were the founding members of the Hollywood String Quartet.
