Film Scores Live brings the music of Terence Blanchard to life on stage. The program features Blanchard’s acclaimed film-score repertoire performed by his band The E-Collective, often with guest orchestras like the Gateways Festival Orchestra. A New Orleans-born trumpeter and composer, Blanchard has scored more than 80 film and television projects and has earned multiple Oscar nominations for Original Score (BlacKkKlansman, 2018; Da 5 Bloods, 2020). He’s also celebrated for jazz leadership, blue-chip recordings on Blue Note and Sony Classical, and operas that have graced the stages of the Met and other major houses. Film Scores Live offers a concert experience that blends cinematic immersion with live jazz energy—an insider’s chance to hear beloved melodies performed with precision and passion. Secure your seats and enjoy a night of movie-music magic by one of modern jazz and film-score icons.
