In a world where soundtracks make us laugh and cry, music is at the heart of Hollywood films. Musical scores set the scene from country westerns to a galaxy far, far away. Music brings characters to life, from John Williams’ soaring score for E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial to Danny Elfman’s spooky The Nightmare Before Christmas. Join me as the house lights dim and America 250: The American Experience goes to the movies. Listen on 91.1, 107.5, and our music stream.
From WSHU's daytime and evening classical programs, Emily Boyer and Lauren Rico give you a heads-up on some of the best music they'll be sharing with you.
