Academy® Award-winner Joan Crawford portrays a selfish socialite who takes interest in a much younger violinist (John Garfield) on the rise. But perhaps the best part is the outstanding score, filled with classical favorites arranged and conducted by Franz Waxman. Carmen Fantasie, composed for “Humoresque,” is today one of the most performed and recorded works in the violin repertoire today. Violinist Isaac Stern served as musical advisor and soloist for the soundtrack, with his hands appearing in performance close-ups as Garfield “plays.” Hang around after the movie for a fun and engaging chat with Music Director Michael Stern and guest violinist Augustin Hadelich.

Please note: the Symphony does not perform at this event.
