The Oscar Concert

February 2014

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences held its first ever Oscar Concert in February 2014.

"Before an enthusiastic audience at UCLA’s Royce Hall, each of this year’s best score nominees was invited to introduce and then conduct a suite from the score. The program also included performances of the year’s four nominated songs.

"How many times do you get to say that you are truly part of history?" hip-hop musician Common, who served as the evening’s tuxedoed emcee, asked rhetorically before introducing Charles Fox, a member of the Academy’s board of governors, who welcomed the crowd on behalf of the organization’s music branch. He then kicked off the proceedings by conducting the 80-piece orchestra of studio musicians, billed as the Academy Symphony Orchestra, in "Fanfare for Oscar," composed by the late Jerry Goldsmith.

While music scores have often been wedged awkwardly into past Oscar broadcasts, the concert allowed the scores and their composers to occupy center stage. Each of the best score nominees was introduced by critic Elvis Mitchell, who conducted brief interviews with them."
