| SRO for CSO? The Post and Courier - Charleston, S.C. Author: BILL THOMPSON Date: Oct 20, 2005 The Charleston Symphony Orchestra (CSO) wants to expand its reach. Into the movies. On Wednesday, the orchestra will perform for its first Symphonic Film Contest to be held at 8:30 p.m. at the Gaillard Exhibition Hall. Participating filmmakers chose from a selection of five widely divergent symphonic works, each averaging 5-15 minutes in length and ranging from the baroque to avant-garde, as the inspiration for an original silent film. The four finalists whose work will be screened include Brad Jayne ("Untitled"), who employed the music of Ravel; Manon Husman ("European Vacation"), who also selected Ravel; Steve Lepre ("Bridges"), whose film was inspired by Corelli; and Kevin Harrison and John Duckworth ("The Untuning of the Skies"), informed by Moryl's composition of the same name. The CSO will accompany each screening. Contestants submitted their final works in September. Judging of the films was conducted by a panel composed of stage and screen actor-director Rodney Rogers, co-founder of Pure Theatre; Patrick Sharbaugh, arts and entertainment editor of the City Paper; Greg Tavares of the Have Nots! improv company; Scott Terrell, resident conductor of the CSO, and Kenny Z from the "Storm and Kenny Show" on 96 WAVE. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for adults. |
