Via TheForce.Net: the occupational hazards facing an orchestral conductor when the composer of the works on the program happens to be in the concert hall. At least Maestro Slatkin was armed!
TF.N's story can be found here, and this event was also featured in a lengthy interview with Maestros Williams and Slatkin on NPR's Weekend Edition. Any mainstream mention of film music should be supported, and any attempt to bring film music to a larger audience can only be a good thing. This is an art form that is woefully underappreciated -- musical people tend to view film music as classical music's bastard stepchild, and film people tend to view film music as something not to be appreciated in any context other than with the film itself.
