Alfred Hitchcock, Akira Kurasawa, Paul Thomas Anderson, and Jane Campion all harnessed the power of new-art music to arouse the passions of both audience and performers. From agony to ecstasy this concert revels in the visceral energy
of primal urges featuring music and memorable scenes by Hollywood legends, national treasures, and Radiohead’s Jonny Greenwood.

The net proceeds of this concert will benefit the SOUND TRACKS program, an educational multi-interdisciplinary initiative serving 4th and 5th graders of Chicago Public Schools, which explores global cultures through world and new music.
