Music Fundraiser Celebrates Movie Magic

It’s Showtime! Enjoy “Music from the Movies” at the Langley Community Music School’s (LCMS) annual Faculty Benefit concert on Saturday March 12, 2016 at 7:30 pm.

Immerse yourself in an evening of movie music drawn from many genres, from classical and jazz to show tunes. Listen to such great works as the original theme from Spielberg’s film, “Schindler’s List.” Feel the passion of the tango, such as the famous “Por una Cabeza” from “Scent of a Woman.” Engross yourself in a soulful rendition of Ed Sheeran’s song “I See Fire” from “The Hobbit” soundtrack. And savour many more powerful and moving movie magic sounds, from the historic ballad “Over the Rainbow” from “The Wizard of Oz” to modern day classics.

The evening will feature performances by many of LCMS’s award-winning, talented faculty, such as pianists Marcel & Elizabeth Bergmann of the Bergmann Duo, harpist Miya Otake, vocalists Liana Savard and Rachel Button, violinists Karina Slupski and Will Chen, and many more.

“It will be an enjoyable evening,” says LCMS’s principal Susan Magnusson. “Our talented faculty performers have put together an inspiring and entertaining selection of music. It will also support a good cause, with all proceeds going to support the school’s scholarship and bursary program.”

Tickets for this concert fundraiser are $25 for adults, $10 for students, and a family pass is $65 (two parents and their children). Proceeds will go in support of LCMS scholarships and bursaries. LCMS’ Rose Gellert Hall is located at 4899 207th Street, Langley, BC.
