Hershey Felder: TCHAIKOVSKY-Live from Florence
Sunday, December 20, 8 pm ET / 5 pm PT
Eventbrite.com
[link removed]
Tune in for a brand-new live musical experience starring virtuoso
pianist, actor and playwright Hershey Felder-broadcast directly
into your home!
TCHAIKOVSKY-Live from Florence is the story of the great Russian
composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, who found himself in Florence,
Italy, multiple times in his life following very difficult experiences
at home in Russia. This newly created work for the screen will feature
many of Tchaikovsky's beloved compositions, from "The 1812
Overture", "The Nutcracker", "4th",
"5th" & "6th Symphonies", "Piano
Concerto 1", "The Seasons" and more, and will
incorporate both filmed and live sequences performed where events
actually took place.
Based on the original Our Great Tchaikovsky, the online event will
also feature an extended focus on "The Nutcracker Ballet"
(in honor of Christmas) as well as Tchaikovsky's life in
Florence, Italy where he spent a good deal of time. TCHAIKOVSKY will
be filmed live on-location where Tchaikovsky actually lived and worked
in Florence. The event is sure to be an interesting, surprising and
engaging musical experience!
Your ticket purchase includes extended viewing access of the recording
through December 27! All proceeds benefit The Actors Fund.
