Wrapping up
Norman McLaren's retrospective world tour, the NFB pairs up with the Montreal Symphony to present
a special hybrid performance of music and cinema.
Next week in Montreal, the symphony will play musical accompaniment to four of the animator's greatest works;
Blinkity Blank, Love on the Wing, Neighbours/Voisins and
Hell Unlimited.The richness of full symphonic sound will no doubt offer a fitting complement to the large screen presentation of McLaren's animation genius. The evening performance comes first (October 2), followed by the matinee (October 3), which sounds like a great idea for a class field trip to me. For school group reservations, call the MSO at 514-842-3402.
