And we’re back for Part Two! The FVSO presents two US Premieres of Doreen Carwithen, the first major female film composer who penned more than 60 film scores during her career. Live film will be projected above the orchestra for two works by Carwithen from the mid 20th century. The program concludes with two pieces featured in the 1937 film 100 Men & A Girl with Leopold Stokowski & Deanna Durbin. Stokowski would have a long association with the symphony in film, promoting various mediums that bridged the gap between the orchestral world and general public.
