ITZHAK PERLMAN Cinema Serenade

On Saturday, April 17, 2027, the Fairfax Symphony Orchestra (FSO) joins legendary violinist Itzhak Perlman for a special evening of film music titled *Cinema Serenade*. This co-presentation with the Center for the Arts at George Mason University features Perlman—a 16-time Grammy winner—performing some of the most beloved film scores, accompanied by the full orchestra under the baton of Music Director Christopher Zimmerman. The program also includes Richard Strauss’s *Also sprach Zarathustra*, the iconic tone poem immortalized by its use in Stanley Kubrick’s *2001: A Space Odyssey*. As *The New York Times* has noted, "Perlman's violin sings with unmatched warmth and humanity."
