Roddind@Nyphil.Org New York Philharmonic and Warner FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE April 11, 2019 Contact: Deirdre Roddin (212) 875-5700; [email protected] New York Philharmonic and Warner Bros. Present BUGS BUNNY AT THE SYMPHONY II GEORGE DAUGHERTY To Conduct New York Philharmonic in Original Animation Scores as Classic Looney Tunes Are Screened May 17–18, 2019 The New York Philharmonic and Warner Bros. will present the return of Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II, a program celebrating classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies cartoons with the New York Philharmonic playing the music live while the animation is screened. Emmy Award winner George Daugherty will conduct the concerts, taking place Friday, May 17, 2019, at 8:00 p.m.; Saturday, May 18 at 2:00 p.m.; and Saturday, May 18 at 8:00 p.m. Costumed Looney Tunes characters will greet audience members in the lobby of David Geffen Hall before the concerts and during intermission. The program, which sold out four performances with the Philharmonic in 2015, includes more than a dozen classic Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies projected on a large screen, while their iconic original scores are played live by the Philharmonic. Highlights include What’s Opera, Doc?, with music by Milt Franklyn based on Wagner operas; The Rabbit of Seville, with music by Carl W. Stalling based on Rossini’s Overture to The Barber of Seville; and Rhapsody Rabbit, with music by Carl W. Stalling based on Liszt’s Hungarian Rhapsody No. 1. These acclaimed animated shorts were directed by Chuck Jones, Friz Freleng, Robert Clampett, William Hanna, Joseph Barbera, and others. Additions to the program since its 2015 Philharmonic performances include the new 3D Warner Bros. theatrical short Rabid Rider, which will be paired with the 3D Coyote Falls (both directed by Matthew Callahan and scored by Christopher Lennertz), as well as a complete symphonic restoration of the popular classical music farce Long-Haired Hare, directed by Chuck Jones, featuring one of Carl Stalling’s most acclaimed scores, based on music by Donizetti, Wagner, Rossini, Suppé, and others. Created by George Daugherty and David Ka Lik Wong, Bugs Bunny on Broadway premiered in 1990, conducted by Mr. Daugherty. It has since toured the world, performed by more than 100 orchestras, ranging from the Los Angeles Philharmonic and Boston Pops to The Philadelphia Orchestra, at iconic venues ranging from the Hollywood Bowl to the Sydney Opera House. Mr. Daugherty and Mr. Wong recreated Bugs Bunny on Broadway in reimagined new versions, Bugs Bunny at the Symphony (premiered in 2010) and Bugs Bunny at the Symphony II (premiered in 2013); the New York Philharmonic performed the latter in May 2015.

  • Tribute to Chuck Jones at the Museum of Modern Art. Animator
    NO. 25 The Museum of Modern Art FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 11 West 53 Street, New York, N.Y. 10019 Tel. 956-6100 Cable: Modemart TRIBUTE TO CHUCK JONES AT THE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART ANIMATOR WILL BE PRESENT CHUCK JONES: THE YEARS AT WARNER BROTHERS, a special four-day program honoring this famous animator and director of such stars as Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Porky Pig, the Roadrunner, and Wile E. Coyote, will take place at The Museum of Modern Art from March 19 through March 22. The program includes a screening of 12 cartoons on Saturday, March 19 at noon, two showings on Sunday, March 20 at noon and 2:30 at which Mr. Jones will be present to discuss his work, and repeat showings of the Sunday programs on Monday, March 21 and Tuesday, March 22 at noon. The film programs, selected by Greg Ford, historian of the American an­ imated film, are designed to show Chuck Jones' development at Warner Brothers, where he was director of animation for 26 years. Jones began his career in a representational style heavily influences by Disney, but soon developed a more abstract, zanier style of cartooning, shown in "The Dover Boys" of 1942 with its lurched-tempo motion, and "The Aristo-Cat" of 1943 with its expression- istic backgrounds. It was during the fifties, however, while working with Warner's stable of cartoon stars, that Jones fully developed his style, based not on exaggeration but continual refinement. It is a "personality animation," according to Greg Ford, "marked by logical application of space, movement, and editing ideas, and by very subtle drawing that keenly deliniates character attitude." Among the films to be shown during this tribute are "What's Opera Doc," (1957), "Duck Amuck" (1953), "Ali-Baba Bunny" (1957) and "To Beep or Not to Beep" (1964).

    UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA Los Angeles Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 © Copyright by Brynn Wein Shiovitz 2016 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950 by Brynn Wein Shiovitz Doctor of Philosophy in Culture and Performance University of California, Los Angeles, 2016 Professor Susan Leigh Foster, Chair Masks in Disguise: Exposing Minstrelsy and Racial Representation within American Tap Dance Performances of the Stage, Screen, and Sound Cartoon, 1900-1950, looks at the many forms of masking at play in three pivotal, yet untheorized, tap dance performances of the twentieth century in order to expose how minstrelsy operates through various forms of masking. The three performances that I examine are: George M. Cohan’s production of Little Johnny ii Jones (1904), Eleanor Powell’s “Tribute to Bill Robinson” in Honolulu (1939), and Terry- Toons’ cartoon, “The Dancing Shoes” (1949). These performances share an obvious move away from the use of blackface makeup within a minstrel context, and a move towards the masked enjoyment in “black culture” as it contributes to the development of a uniquely American form of entertainment. In bringing these three disparate performances into dialogue I illuminate the many ways in which American entertainment has been built upon an Africanist aesthetic at the same time it has generally disparaged the black body.
