World Premiere of New Orchestral Score
This event inaugurates the Jon Vickers Film Scoring Award, which was presented to Ari Fisher in May of 2015 as a commission to create an orchestral score for The Return of Draw Egan. This annual award is endowed by a gift from former IU trustee, the Honorable P.A. Mack Jr. Through a juried competition, the commission will be awarded each year to a student from the composition department in the Jacobs School of Music. This presentation includes IU students in the roles of composer, conductor, musicians, audio technicians, projectionist, house managers, and ushers. This screening is made possible thanks to the generous support of Old National Bank. Special thanks to film collector David Shepard and Serge Bromberg from Lobster Films.
