Gregory Charles, Alexandre Da Costa and symphonic improvisation

The Longueuil Symphony Orchestra has an eclectic concert in store, one that holds its share of surprises for the audience in attendance. In this program, entitled Symphonic Improvisation, the orchestra’s titular leader, Alexandre Da Costa, will first conduct excerpts from film music by composer Miklos Rozsa. The music of this naturalized Hungarian-American, who composed for both concert halls and the seventh art, is inventive, original and has influenced many composers since. Da Costa then swaps the baton for the violin and performs three movements taken from the famous score John Williams composed for the film Schindler’s List. The event concludes with a special guest, the versatile musician Gregory Charles, who will present his Rhapsody for Piano and Orchestra.
