Movie Scenes, Music and Guests, oh my! 

If you find yourself still craving Academy Award-winning cinematic splendor on the big screen, the Santa Barbara Symphony has just the ticket. In its return to the Granada – following a forced move to the Lobero last month due to water damage at The G – the symphony builds on the Oscar buzz with its popular and family-friendly program next weekend, March 16-17. Relive the glamor and nostalgia of Hollywood’s Golden Age as iconic scenes from such movie classics as Gone with the Wind, An American in Paris, Citizen Kane and, of course, The Wizard of Oz are projected on a giant screen above the orchestra while the musicians play the score live. 

The versatile Constantine Kitsopoulos, who is General Director of the New York Grand Opera and an internationally touring guest artist, steps in as conductor. Montecito-based bestselling author, actress, and award-winning documentarian Leslie Zemeckis hosts the evening. Details and tickets at (805) 899-2222 or www.granadasb.org.
