Chicago Symphony Orchestra to Perform John Williams’ Oscar®-Nominated Score for Steven Spielberg’S Iconic Film Raiders of the Lost Ark For Immediate Release: Press Contacts: June 20, 2016 Eileen Chambers, 312-294-3092 Photos Available By Request [email protected] CHICAGO SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA TO PERFORM JOHN WILLIAMS’ OSCAR®-NOMINATED SCORE FOR STEVEN SPIELBERG’S ICONIC FILM RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK One of Hollywood’s Classic Summer Blockbusters Comes to Symphony Center for Three Performances June 30, July 1 & 2 CHICAGO—The Chicago Symphony Orchestra Association (CSOA) presents Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark on Thursday, June 30 at 7:00 p.m., Friday, July 1 at 7:00 p.m., and Saturday, July 2 at 2:00 p.m. The performances of the classic summer blockbuster feature the Chicago Symphony Orchestra (CSO), led by guest conductor Richard Kaufman, performing John Williams’ Oscar®-nominated score to accompany the film. Released in 1982, Steven Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark introduced audiences to one of film’s most beloved action heroes, the daring archaeologist Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford). The film won four Academy Awards® and was nominated for an additional four, including a nomination for Best Original Score. Raiders of the Lost Ark is set during WWII, and famously depicts the rough-and-tumble hero Indiana Jones as he tries to stop Nazi soldiers from getting to the legendary artifact, the Ark of the Covenant. Acclaimed composer John Williams’ first collaboration with Steven Spielberg was Jaws, earning Williams his first Oscar® for Original Score, and a recommendation from Spielberg to his friend George Lucas. Williams continued to collaborate with Lucas, Spielberg, and others, earning an abundance of awards for his film scores, arrangements, and original music. Williams, who remains active as a composer for film today, recently composed an Oscar-Nominated score for The Book Thief (2013) and received his 50th Oscar® nomination in 2016 for Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens. Williams is currently at work on scores for Indiana Jones 5 and Star Wars: Episode VIII. Conductor Richard Kaufman is known both for his musical career as a classical conductor and as a conductor and supervisor for music in film and television productions. In addition to guest conducting traditional classical performances throughout the United States and the world, Kaufman regularly leads performances of film scores to accompany movie screenings. For eighteen years Kaufman served as music coordinator for MGM, receiving two Emmy® nominations during his time there. Kaufman later received a Grammy® for Best Pop Instrumental Performance in 1993 for a recording with the Nuremberg Symphony. In addition to serving as music director and conductor for numerous musicals, Kaufman has coached various actors such as Jack Nicholson, Dudley Moore and Tom Hanks for musical roles in film. As a violinist, Kaufman has performed on numerous film and television scores including Jaws and Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Kaufman received the “Distinguished Alumni Award” in 2012 from California State University, Northridge, where he received his B.A. Kaufman—who has led performances on the CSO at the Movies series for 10 consecutive years—returns to lead performances of Amadeus, North by Northwest, and E.T., the Extra-Terrestrial for the 2016/17 season of the popular CSO series.

Reviews Keith Loria, on theatermania.com, called the show “a tender glimpse into the Hineses’ rise to fame and a touching tribute to a brother.” Benjamin Tomchik wrote in Broadway World, that the show “seems determined not only to love the audience, but to entertain them, and it succeeds at doing just that! While Tappin' Thru Life does have some flaws, it's hard to find anyone who isn't won over by Hines showmanship, humor, timing and above all else, talent.” In The Washington Post, Nelson Pressley wrote, “’Tappin’ is basically a breezy, personable concert. The show doesn’t flinch from hard-core nostalgia; the heart-on-his-sleeve Hines is too sentimental for that. It’s frankly schmaltzy, and it’s barely written — it zips through selected moments of Hines’s life, creating a mood more than telling a story. it’s a pleasure to be in the company of a shameless, ebullient vaudeville heart.” Maurice Hines Is .

  • Ronald Davis Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts
    Oral History Collection on the Performing Arts in America Southern Methodist University The Southern Methodist University Oral History Program was begun in 1972 and is part of the University’s DeGolyer Institute for American Studies. The goal is to gather primary source material for future writers and cultural historians on all branches of the performing arts- opera, ballet, the concert stage, theatre, films, radio, television, burlesque, vaudeville, popular music, jazz, the circus, and miscellaneous amateur and local productions. The Collection is particularly strong, however, in the areas of motion pictures and popular music and includes interviews with celebrated performers as well as a wide variety of behind-the-scenes personnel, several of whom are now deceased. Most interviews are biographical in nature although some are focused exclusively on a single topic of historical importance. The Program aims at balancing national developments with examples from local history. Interviews with members of the Dallas Little Theatre, therefore, serve to illustrate a nation-wide movement, while film exhibition across the country is exemplified by the Interstate Theater Circuit of Texas. The interviews have all been conducted by trained historians, who attempt to view artistic achievements against a broad social and cultural backdrop. Many of the persons interviewed, because of educational limitations or various extenuating circumstances, would never write down their experiences, and therefore valuable information on our nation’s cultural heritage would be lost if it were not for the S.M.U. Oral History Program. Interviewees are selected on the strength of (1) their contribution to the performing arts in America, (2) their unique position in a given art form, and (3) availability.

  • Elvis Presley in the South African Musical Imaginary
    54 Acta Academica • 2015 47(2): 54-71 © UV/UFS • ISSN 0587-2405 <http://www.ufs.ac.za/ActaAcademica> Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary Harry Sewlall Prof H Sewlall, University of Venda, Private Bag X5050, Thohoyandor 0950; email: [email protected] First submission: 20 June 2014 Acceptance date: 2 June 2015 This paper derives its impetus from a question an elderly American woman once asked me: “Do people in South Africa know Elvis?” “Of course we South Africans know Elvis!” I replied. Or do we, really? Using a historiographic approach, this paper is an attempt to explore how Elvis Presley’s image was first imported into South Africa, especially during the Apartheid era when there was no television and media censorship was a fact of daily life. Additionally, this essay will reflect on the impact of the media – then and now – in creating images, fantasies and illusions in constituting the subjectivity of the Elvis of real life and the Elvis of sound, stage and celluloid in the South African musical imaginary. Harry Sewlall / Elvis Presley in the South African musical imaginary 55 1. Introduction: postmodern technologies and the marketing of Elvis’s image This paper has its genesis in my encounter with an elderly American couple on my first visit to Graceland, the home of Elvis Presley in Memphis, Tennessee in 2002 – the 25th anniversary of the death of the singer. Graceland, incidentally, was opened to the public on June 7, 1982 and on March 27, 2006 was declared a National Historic Landmark (Graceland). According to this online source, Graceland is said to be the second most visited edifice in the USA after the White House.

    Read Ebook {PDF EPUB} Lady Blue Eyes My Life with Frank by Barbara Sinatra Frank Sinatra's Widow on Man Behind the Legend: 'Big Tipper. Romantic Husband'. Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara, discusses the couple's 22-year marriage. Frank Sinatra's Home Life Revealed in New Book. May 31, 2011— -- Frank Sinatra's last wife, Barbara Marx Sinatra, reveals details of the couple's 22-year marriage in her memoir, "Lady Blue Eyes." In the book, Barbara Marx Sinatra describes a homey side of the music legend -- a man who was extremely neat, a great cook, a voracious reader and a crossword puzzle ace. On their evenings out, she witnessed his state of the art tipping. "He'd walk into a restaurant with a stack of one hundred dollar bills," she recalls. "And say, 'Make sure to take care of all the busboys, not the waiters, the busboys. and everyone in the kitchen.'" Read an excerpt from "Lady Blue Eyes" below, then check out some other books in the "GMA" library. Prologue: A Very Good Year. The year I married Frank Sinatra was a very good year. It was 1976, but it had taken us five years of flirting and courting to finally say "I do." It probably took another year before I grew accustomed to the idea that I now carried his iconic name. At first, I'd almost whisper when booking a restaurant reservation or beauty parlor appointment. Even to say "Mrs. Sinatra" out loud felt like bragging. For a long time I had to pinch myself almost daily to believe that I, Barbara Ann Blakeley, the gangly kid in pigtails from the whistle-stop of Bosworth, Missouri, had somehow become the wife of Francis Albert Sinatra.
