Documented collaborators

Ben-Hur (1925) comes to life with a gripping live orchestral score by Stewart Copeland, best known as the drummer for The Police. This unique collaboration marries classic cinema with contemporary composition, offering a immersive, two-hour experience where the film is projected on screen while Copeland conducts a live ensemble. Originating from the Ben Hur Live arena production in 2009, the score was refined for concert performances beginning with the Virginia Arts Festival premiere in 2014, and continues to evolve as venues around the country host 1925 Ben-Hur live-score presentations. Secure your seats for this groundbreaking blend of film history and live music.
