Pacific Symphony's critically-acclaimed American Composers Festival (ACF) continues for the 14th year with "From Screen to Score: New Concert Music by Famous Film Composers"-who happen to be four of today's biggest Hollywood heavy-hitters: John Williams ("Star Wars," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," "E.T., the Extra Terrestrial"), Howard Shore ("Lord of the Rings," "The Hobbit," "Hugo"), James Horner ("Titanic," "Star Trek," "Apollo 13") and Elliot Goldenthal ("Alien 3," "Batman Forever" and "Batman and Robin"). Together, these iconic composers boast 11 Oscars and countless billions of box office dollars. They also hold the ironic position of simultaneously being the most-heard orchestral composers ever (the soundtrack for "Titanic" sold 30 million copies), yet their music is the least performed.

Celebrating its 13th season, the Ensemble of the Romantic Century (ERC) presents Tchaikovsky: None But the Lonely Heart at The Fishman Space in the new BAM Fisher. A fully staged theatrical concert blending striking music, powerful language and biography, Tchaikovsky: None But the Lonely Heart delves into the unconventional 16-year long relationship between one of the great composers of the 19th century and his patroness, Madame von Meck.

Gathered Thoughts entitles 81 delightful poems written from the mind and heart. Author Bonnie Solomon White speaks from an enchantment of hours and days, of occasions and moments that leave bright spots in memory-things that can illuminate the path ahead or present circumstance. Many anthologists can lay claim to an all-inclusive effort that bridges all points in life. Few, like White, make their collection as points embroidered like colored thread on the white canvas of life. By focusing on the things that she has seen and felt, White presents a vibrant, lucid and ever-changing picture of her days with a warm, feminine voice and rhythms.
