SC presents The Cinematic Symphony!

The Sheridan College Music Department will present The Cinematic Symphony! with the SC Symphony Orchestra and the SC Choirs on Dec. 3.

Director of Strings and Orchestral Studies for Sheridan College, Dr. Mark Bergman and Coordinator of Music Theory & Technology Dr. Christian Erikson made an appearance on Sheridan Media’s Public Pulse to talk about the upcoming concert featuring compositions from some of the nation’s most beloved works of cinema. 

During the arrangement, Bergman said he wanted to surprise the audience with something they may not have realized they have heard in film and excite them with favorites they may know very well.

Erikson spoke on the versatility and necessity of the use of music within film, setting tone and raising suspense, but also providing comfort and settings of peace and ease.
