Emmy Award-winning composer and jazz pianist Kris Bowers has been celebrated for his score to films and shows like Green Book, King Richard, and Bridgerton. This Reel Change program explores Bowers’ musical voice with selections from his career performed with original short films created especially for this concert, as well as music from genre-straddling composers—like Owen Pallett and Ryuichi Sakamoto—whose fluidity has inspired his approach. Plus, LA Phil Principal Horn Andrew Bain performs the world premiere of Bowers’ new concerto.

Reel Change: Nicholas Britell

Composer Nicholas Britell is a two-time Academy Award nominee and an Emmy winner who has been lauded for his collaborations with Barry Jenkins (Moonlight, If Beale Street Could Talk, The Underground Railroad) and Adam McKay (The Big Short, Vice, Succession). Britell curates an evening showcasing some of today’s most innovative composers and scores. Featuring works by Mica Levi, Terence Blanchard, Jonny Greenwood, Kathryn Bostic, and Britell himself, this evening will be a unique celebration of their works in live performance. A special bonus will be the first live performance of selections from Britell’s new score to Adam McKay’s upcoming Netflix comedy Don’t Look Up.
