The summer season of MUSE/IQUE continues on Saturday night with an evening of music from the movies called Moving/Pictures. Three time Tony Award-nominee Joshua Henry and LA Philharmonic cellist Ben Hong are special guests. The performance will be outdoors at The Huntington at 8 PM. (Doors open at 6 PM for Hollywood Bowl-style pre-show festivities – but you can’t bring alcohol to this concert.)
Conductor and Artistic Director Rachael Worby carefully curates each program to engage the audience in a musical conversation.
The concert is expected to include music from John Williams’ scores for Saving Private Ryan, Amistad, Catch Me If You Can, Born on the Fourth of July and The Terminal. Songs scheduled to be on the program are “You’ve Got a Friend in Me” from Toy Story, “Raindrops Keep Fallin’ on My Head” from Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, “Singin’ in the Rain” from the film of the same name, “Stayin’ Alive” from Saturday Night Fever, “As Time Goes By” from Casablanca and “Mrs. Robinson” from The Graduate.
Ben Hong, in addition to being Assistant Principal Cello with the Los Angeles Philharmonic, has performed regularly around Los Angeles. He also served as the technical advisor to actor Jamie Foxx for the film The Soloist.
Joshua Henry was nominated for Tony Awards for his performances in The Scottsboro Boys, Violet and the recent revival of Carousel.
The concert runs approximately 90 minutes with no intermission.
