Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde: Jon Vickers Scoring Award
World Premiere of a New Orchestral Score. The 2020 Jon Vickers Film Scoring Award was presented to Ryn Jorgensen in May 2019 as a commission to create an orchestral score for the 1920 film Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, starring John Barrymore. This annual award is endowed by a gift from former IU trustee, the Honorable P.A. Mack Jr. This premiere presentation includes IU students in the roles of composer, conductor, musicians, audio technicians, projectionist, house managers, and ushers.
Curated by Jon Vickers.
