WFMT

Sunday, Dec. 3, 2017 at 4 PM

Chicago Tribune Film Critic, Michael Phillips presents The Film Score: Music for the Winter Holidays, a new hour-long edition of WFMT's The Film Score, this time devoted to music of the holidays and wintertime. In addition to beloved standards (“White Christmas,” from “Holiday Inn”), Michael introduces film music, ranging from “It Happened in Sun Valley” (from “Sun Valley Serenade”) to Alexandre Desplat’s wintry, folk-inspired score for “The Grand Budapest Hotel” to Bernard Herrmann’s bracing sleigh ride accompaniment composed for the Orson Welles drama “The Magnificent Ambersons.” Bundle up and enjoy The Film Score: Music for the Winter Holidays.
