For our next concert, the Southwest Community Concert Band is turning the spotlight on the ones that didn’t win.
“Award Show Losers” celebrates music connected to films, television programs, and other productions that were nominated for major awards — Oscars, Emmys, and more — but ultimately did not win. And as this concert will prove, coming in second doesn’t mean the music was any less memorable.
In fact, some of the most recognizable, moving, and entertaining music ever written came from productions that were passed over on awards night.
This concert gives us a chance to explore that idea from a musical point of view: great scores, memorable themes, and familiar melodies that may not have taken home the prize, but certainly earned a lasting place with audiences.
It’s a different kind of concert theme for us, and one that gives us a lot of room for variety. Expect an evening that is fun, surprising, and filled with music you may recognize immediately — along with a few selections that may have you wondering how they didn’t win in the first place. This is a free concert, $10 donation suggested
