Upcoming Film Classics Programs: Sundays from 6 - 7 p.m. ET

07/06/08 - THE HOURS

Highlights from the original soundtrack recording for "The Hours," written in 2002 by Philip Glass. Based on the novel by Michael Cunningham, "The Hours" starred Meryl Streep, Julianne Moore and, in an Academy Award- winning performance, Nicole Kidman as Virginia Woolf. With pianist Michael Riesman, the Lyric Quartet, and the orchestra conducted by Nick Ingman.

07/13/08 - FILM SCORES BY CONCERT COMPOSERS

A while ago we did a show devoted to concert music by composers better-known for film scores--so this week we're going the other way and featuring selections from film scores by such composers as Ralph Vaughan Williams, Hugo Alfven, Florent Schmitt, and George Antheil.

07/20/08 (1/2 hour) - THE KENTUCKIAN

This week the show will be only half an hour so we can bring you the "Artifacts" program from our friends at the Arts League of Michigan--but in that 30 minutes we will bring you a wonderful concert suite from the movie "The Kentuckian," by Bernard Herrmann, written in 1955 for a Burt Lancaster vehicle about a frontiersman and his son.

07/27/08 BATMAN

How many "Batman" movies have there been now? Well, to tell you the truth, we really can't remember either--but rest assured--there will be some Danny Elfman and some Elliot Goldenthal at the very least, as we devote an entire show to movies having to do with the Caped Crusader, or Dark Knight, if you prefer.
