WHAT:
Nearly 75 years ago, Walt Disney used
the skill of his world-class animators
to visualize the world of classical
music. The result: Walt Disney’s
Fantasia. In celebration of the 20th
anniversary of the Hollywood Bowl
Orchestra, John Mauceri returns
to recreate this magic – an evening of
selections from the classic film with
clips on the Bowl’s big screen.
Audiences will see your favorites, plus
a glimpse into the brilliant artwork and
unfinished segments of this Disney
masterpiece. The evening ends with
fireworks that complement the
spectacular beauty of this cinematic
triumph.
John Mauceri, the Founding
Director of the Hollywood Bowl
Orchestra, led over 300 concerts to a
total audience of over 4 million people
during his tenure. His distinguished and
extraordinary career has taken him not
only to the world’s greatest opera
companies and symphony orchestras, but
also the musical stages of Broadway and
Hollywood, as well as the most
prestigious halls of academia. Among
his many awards are a Tony, a Grammy,
and two Emmys. Mauceri has been the
Chancellor of the University of North
Carolina School of the Arts since 2006.
