CELEBRATING THE CINEMA: MUSIC FROM THE MOVIES

A MEMORABLE EVENING OF MOVIE MUSIC

Join the fabulous Wellesley Middle School Choruses for a joyous celebration of movie music.  The program will feature the WMS Song Sisters, Brooks Brothers, Clefhangers a cappella, and acoustic showcases by individual students.  

The concert theme explores choral music used in movies that is specifically composed to increase an emotional response to the
action on screen. Students were involved in arranging two of the pieces and the audience will enjoy songs from many cultures, genres, and time periods filled with wonderful soloists.  Highlights will include Adele's Academy Award-winning James Bond theme "Skyfall," the classic Chordette's tune "Mr. Sandman (featured in dozens of soundtracks)," "Misty Mountain Cold" from The Hobbit, and "I am a Man of Constant Sorrow" from the now-classic George Clooney film O Brother, Where Art Thou?

Student showcases and a cappella renditions will appeal to young and old, featuring pop music from favorites Bastille, Coldplay, Christina Perri, The Beatles, and Billy Joel.

The finale will explode with the 8th grade combined choir paying tribute to Lord of the Rings and J.S. Bach.

We'll see you tomorrow night!!!
