Italian composer Nino Rota is perhaps best known for his unforgettable Academy Award-winning original score composed for Francis Ford Coppola’s cinematic masterpiece The Godfather. Our season finale will celebrate this gem as well as others from La Strada, Amarcord, and Romeo and Juliet. However, Rota’s 150 film scores are just one side of his extraordinarily prolific compositional output. This spring, PCE will paint a full picture of of Rota’s artistry including remarkable yet little-known concert works, such as Concerto for Strings, music from the ballet Le Moliére imaginaire, his Nonetto for chamber ensemble, and his virtuosic concert piece for french horn and orchestra, Castel del monte. This will be a concert you can’t refuse.
