QSO Music on Sundays: Classic Cinema at Concert Hall, QPAC

Be swept away by a selection of classical pieces pressed into the service of the magnificent world of film. Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor is forever associated with The Phantom of the Opera and Wagner's dark and stirring Ride of the Valkyries is linked to Apocalypse Now. Paul Carasco's performance of the romantic Warsaw Concerto famously chronicled in Dangerous Moonlight will be exhilarating and recalls another time, another era. Bernstein's West Side Story is mostly remembered as a film. Johann Strauss' Emperor Waltz is so suggestive of elegant ballrooms filled with swirling waltzing partners it triggers scenes of cinematic dancing in our minds without staring at a screen.
