'REVIEW: Wordless Music Orchestra, Lost Bayou Ramblers Make Magic with 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' Score at Symphony Space

The connection between music and the movies has been, for as long as film has been around, synchronous. Miraculous heights in filmmaking have been reached by scores that transcend the viewing experience. Not just watching, but being sucked into the story--the sounds of strings and banjos swirling in an effervescent cloud that floats through us. Beasts of the Southern Wild is that kind of film. Whether it is vivacious cajun music or a melancholic string melody, the score takes you on a journey through an unbelievable world, just out of reach from your own imagination
  • 'Benh Zeitlin's 'Beasts of the Southern Wild' Screened with Live Orchestra

    Director Behn Zeitlin’s acclaimed film "Beasts of the Southern Wild" will be screened with live accompaniment by the Wordless Music Orchestra and the Lost Bayou Ramblers under Ryan McAdams Jan. 23 and 24 at the Peter Jay Sharp Theatre at Symphony Space in New York City. This event has only happened once before in New York, but the score to this four-time, Oscar-nominated movie has taken a life of its own. In July, excerpts were performed by the Los Angeles Philharmonic under Gustavo Dudamel at the Hollywood Bowl, and the live score was performed to the complete film at the Barbican Arts Center in London. The Symphony Space performances will be the first live showings with the Grammy-nominated Lost Bayou Ramblers, who appear onscreen in the film. The soundtrack was composed by Zeitlin with Dan Romer and it will be performed to a music-less print of the film created especially for this project.
