Variety: This summer, the Hollywood Bowl will play host to tens of thousands more watching “Back to the Future,” “2001: A Space Odyssey” and “E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial” — all with live accompaniment by the L.A. Philharmonic. Films like “Psycho,” “The Wizard of Oz” and “Star Trek” are popping up on orchestra programs around the world.
After years of looking down their collective noses at film music as unworthy of performance alongside, say, Beethoven or Wagner, orchestras from the Chicago Symphony to the New York Philharmonic are jumping on the bandwagon, playing classic film scores “live to picture” in growing numbers.
