A Celebration of Cinema and Solidarity through Song

Sidney Harman Hall

Showtime: 8:00 p.m.

Performances by the Capitol Pride Symphonic Band
and Capitol Pride Winds

Celebrating America’s gay composers whose movie music has become soundtracks to our lives. From Bridge on the River Kwai and the films of the 1950’s to Harry Potter and films of the 21st century, composers such as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Leonard Bernstein, John Williams, Ira Hearshen have, through their music, chronicled the struggle of voices asking to be heard. Music and the arts have always been powerful instruments for pointing out injustice and inequality in our society. Capitol Pride Symphonic Band salutes these and other fine composers whose passion for music and desire to tell a story has given us music that is timeless.
