The Lansing Symphony Orchestra participates in the sixth annual Capital City Film Festival (CCFF) for one night only, to bring you “Symphonic Cinema: Disney in Concert - A Silly Symphony Celebration.” This special feature is on Wednesday, April 6 at 7 p.m. and will include Disney cartoon classics such as “The Skeleton Dance,” “Flowers and Trees,” “Three Little Pigs” and “The Ugly Duckling.” Due to funding from the “Sense of Place” grant, this event is free for the public.
“Disney in Concert - A Silly Symphony Celebration” is a tuneful and colorful celebration of 75 groundbreaking cartoons produced at the Walt Disney Studios between 1929 and 1939. During the production of these Academy Award-winning shorts, Walt perfected the skills essential to the creation of his first feature film, “Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs” (1937), with developments in the use of color, special effects, character animation, music and storytelling that continue to influence the art of animation today. Now, 85+ years after their debut, Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies return to the big screen to delight audiences of all ages, accompanied by their original musical scores performed live by the Lansing Symphony Orchestra.
This event is FREE and open to the public. Reserved seating section is available to CCFF all-access festival pass holders ONLY. Grab your pass at www.capitalcityfilmfest.com
