SUMMARY:JAWS in Concert
DESCRIPTION:Stuart Chafetz\, conductor  \nJust when you thought it was safe to go back in the concert hall… \nThe original summer movie blockbuster\, with an Academy Award®-winning score by composer John Williams\, JAWS is an unforgettable film-with-live-orchestra experience! \nDirected by Academy Award® winner Steven Spielberg\, JAWS set the standard for edge-of-your-seat suspense\, quickly becoming a cultural phenomenon and forever changing the movie industry. When the seaside community of Amity finds itself under attack by a dangerous great white shark\, the town’s chief of police\, a young marine biologist and a grizzled shark hunter embark on a desperate quest to destroy the beast before it strikes again. Featuring an unforgettable score that evokes pure terror\, Jaws remains one of the most influential and gripping adventures in motion picture history. \nNow for the first time\, audiences will have the chance to experience the power of a live symphony orchestra performing the entire score in sync with one of the greatest motion pictures of all time. \nIn the words of Chief Brody\, “You’re gonna need a bigger boat!” \nJaws is a trademark and copyright of Universal Studios.

SUMMARY:Mozart to Matisse | The Debussy of the Camera: Art\, Music\, and Photography at the Turn of the 20th Century
DESCRIPTION:Join CMA curator Kaitlin Booher and members of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra for an afternoon of music and art. \nIn 1975\, British fashion photographer Cecil Beaton called his predecessor Baron Adolf de Meyer the “Debussy of the camera\,” because of de Meyer’s atmospheric and luminous lighting in his photographs from the 1910s and 20s. Beaton’s comparison was apt\, because de Meyer\, like Claude Debussy\, was preoccupied with pushing the limits of his chosen medium. They were each influenced by James Abbott McNeil Whistler’s 1870s Nocturnes painting series\, which was made at night and hovered between abstraction and representation. \nBooher will explore de Meyer’s photographs as a point of departure to consider how American\, British\, and French artists across media experimented with ideas about modernism\, testing acceptable styles and subjects for works of art. The talk will be followed by a live performance by Columbus Symphony musicians. \nTickets are $5 for members\, $15 for nonmembers.
