FILM COMPOSER MYCHAEL DANNA
SCORES "LITTLE MISS SUNSHINE"
Four Weeks in the Top 10, #3 Box Office
Soundtrack release from Lakeshore Records
(Los Angeles, CA) Award winning film composer Mychael Danna, most notably
recognized for scoring Oscar-winning "Capote," creates an emotionally
poignant score to Fox Searchlight Pictures' "Little Miss Sunshine." The Fox
Searchlight release starring Golden Globe nominee Greg Kinnear, Toni
Collette and Steven Carrell remain in the top ten after two months in
theaters, taking the film by director Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris to
#3 at the box office. Film composer Mychael Danna is a pioneer in the
combination of non-Western sound sources with orchestral and electronic
minimalism. For "Little Miss Sunshine," he collaborated with folk-indie rock
band DeVotchka. Danna's score sets the mood for the sardonic tale of an
American family determined to succeed, whilst enduring with each other's
discernible neuroses. Soundtrack is available on Lakeshore Records.
"Little Miss Sunshine" is a comedy-drama directed by the husband-wife team
of Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Faris, and this is their first feature. The
movie has had high praise and acclaim, including winning the Best Feature -
World Cinema Audience Award at the 2006 Sydney Film Festival, and standing
ovations at the 2006 Sundance Film Festival.
Mychael Danna began his film music career with his score for "Family
Viewing" for director Atom Egoyan in 1987. His music received the "Best
Score" award from the prestigious Academy of Canadian Cinema & Television.
Danna is most markedly recognized for incorporating ethnic influences into
the body of his contemporary film scoring aesthetics. This fame led him to
work with acclaimed directors such as Ang Lee, Scott Hicks, Gilles
MacKinnon, Mira Nair, James Mangold, Joel Schumacher and Denzel Washington.
In addition to his film scores, Danna has proven his versatility from
scoring Moroccan music in "8MM" to Americana in "Ride with the Devil" to
European medieval and Persian music in "The Sweet Hereafter," as well as
"Where the Truth Lies," "Arafat," "Felicia's Journey," "Exotica," "The
Adjuster" and "Speaking Parts." Danna is currently working on the much
anticipated feature, "The Nativity Story," which will be released on
December 1st.

CONDUCTS WORLD PREMIERE OF
WORLD TRADE CENTER
WITH HOLLYWOOD SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA
Saturday, October 7 at UCLA
(Hollywood, CA) - The Hollywood Symphony Orchestra follows its highly
successful inaugural concert with another evening of exquisite symphonic
music from the movies with the World Premiere of music by Golden Globe
winning composer Craig Armstrong from the "World Trade Center," the
Paramount Pictures release by director Oliver Stone. Over 100 of Hollywood's
top musicians and singers will appear on stage for an exciting gala event
and concert program on Saturday, October 7th at 8 p.m. at Royce Hall, on the
UCLA campus. Armstrong happened to be in New York on September 11, 2001, and
has composed a truly remarkable score, both poignant and emotive. He follows
this debut with the orchestral presentation of music from "Romeo and
Juliet," "Moulin Rouge," and "Ray" Thursday Oct 19th, 8pm at the Flemish
Opera House in Ghent.
Oliver Stone directs the true story of two police officers who became
trapped under the rubble of the World Trade Center after the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. Nicholas Cage and Michael Pena star as the two officers. Stone has
won several Academy Awards and Golden Globe Awards for his films, which
include "Natural Born Killers," "JFK" and "Born on the Fourth of July." This
is the first time Stone and Armstrong have worked together.
The evening's program will range from Sergei Prokofiev's classic score for
the 1938 film "Alexander Nevsky" to the U.S. concert premiere of a suite
from "The Matrix," by composer Don Davis. Other composers to be represented
include John Williams, Miklos Rosza, Dimitri Tiomkin, Maurice Jarre, and Max
Steiner.
Royal Academy of Music graduate Craig Armstrong passed through the ranks of
his native Scotland's band culture to become a respected and sought-after
composer and arranger on the world stage. In the contemporary field,
Madonna, U2, Björk and Massive Attack are among the acts to have benefited
from his talents, but it is his scores for "Ray," "The Clearing," "The Quiet
American," "The Bone Collector," and Baz Luhrmann's "Romeo & Juliet" and
"Moulin Rouge" that have brought him to the forefront of the movie industry.
The concert is presented by the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra Society.
Dedicated to preserving and presenting timeless works by contemporary
composers of film and television music in a setting worthy of their creative
gifts and talents, the Hollywood Symphony Orchestra Society honours an
art-form too rarely heard to its full dramatic effects on the concert stage.
