Brevard Philharmonic Presents Casablanca with Live Orchestra on September 27<\/p>\n
The Brevard Philharmonic will open its 50th Anniversary Season with a special presentation of
\none of Hollywood\u2019s most beloved films, Casablanca, on Sunday, September 27, at 3:00 p.m. at
\nthe Porter Center at Brevard College. For the first time in its history, the Brevard Philharmonic
\nwill perform a film with a live orchestra, bringing Max Steiner\u2019s celebrated score to life as the
\nclassic movie unfolds on the big screen.<\/p>\n
Released in 1942, Casablanca has become one of the most enduring films in American cinema.
\nStarring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, and Paul Henreid, the Academy Award-winning
\nfilm tells the story of Rick Blaine, an American expatriate whose world is turned upside down
\nwhen a former love unexpectedly enters his nightclub in wartime Casablanca.<\/p>\n
With its unforgettable characters, romantic story, suspense, and iconic dialogue, Casablanca
\ncontinues to captivate audiences more than 80 years after its release. The live orchestral
\nperformance adds another dimension to the experience, allowing audiences to hear Steiner\u2019s
\nsweeping, dramatic music performed in real time by the Brevard Philharmonic while watching
\nthe film.<\/p>\n
\u201cCasablanca is one of those films that seems to get better every time you see it,\u201d said Dusty
\nCampbell, Executive Director of the Brevard Philharmonic. \u201cWe wanted to do something special
\nto celebrate our 50th Anniversary, and presenting this iconic movie with a live orchestra is a
\nperfect way to introduce something new while celebrating the power of great music and
\nstorytelling. I think audiences are going to love experiencing this film in an entirely new way.\u201d<\/p>\n
The presentation is part of the Brevard Philharmonic\u2019s 2026\u20132027 50th Anniversary Season,
\nmarking five decades of professional orchestral performances and outreach in Transylvania
\nCounty and the surrounding region. In celebration of this milestone, a special pre-concert
\nreception will be held in the Porter Center lobby beginning at 2:15 p.m. before the concert.<\/p>\n
The Brevard Philharmonic\u2019s mission is to inspire, educate, and enrich audiences through
\nexceptional professional musical performances and community outreach. Throughout its 50-year history, the orchestra has brought outstanding music to the community while providing
