Performers will include Gondwana Voices, the acclaimed national children's choir that has grown out of Lyn Williams' equally celebrated Sydney Children's Choir.
"The program also includes Bernard Herrmann's extraordinary music to Truffaut's sci-fi fantasy Fahrenheit 451, and a new arrangement of Janácek's second quartet, inspired by a secret passion and the 'intimate letters' it generated late in life.

Soprano, TBA; Baritone, Nathan Gunn; Actor, TBA.
Bernard Herrmann: More Than The Movies launches the 2001 season on February 15, honoring Mr. Herrmann. Eos will re-create and perform some of Herrmann's experimental radio works for narrator and orchestra, Melodrams, as well as chamber music and orchestral works from before and during his Hollywood career. Schoenberg's Accompaniment to a Film Scene opens a program that pairs Herrmann's early Sinfonietta with the chilling Suite from Psycho and the New York premiere of excerpts from his opera Wuthering Heights, featuring baritone Nathan Gunn.
Beginning his career in New York, Herrmann was an avid member of new music circles, forming a chamber orchestra in order to pursue a conducting career. His early pieces in the manner of Schoenberg matured as he worked in radio and then Hollywood, and his ambition remained high, even as his film music eclipsed all his other efforts. In the end, he became the most Singular composer in the history of movies, composing motion picture scores for such classics as Citizen Kane, Vertigo and Taxi Driver.
There will be a pre-concert chamber music performance as well as a symposium with music historian and publisher John Waxman. Mr. Waxman's father, Franz Waxman, was a prolific film composer and Herrmann's contemporary.
