“This concert is for all ages! Disney is providing the projected animated shorts and the MSO will provide the live music. Each video will demonstrate the technological progress in animation at the time, narrated by Walt himself!” says Doug Droste, MSO Artistic Director and Conductor.
A tuneful and colorful celebration of groundbreaking cartoons produced at the Walt Disney Studios between 1929 and 1939, Walt perfected the skills essential to the creation of his first feature film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (1937). Now, 85 years after their debut, Walt Disney’s Silly Symphonies return to the big screen to delight audiences of all ages, accompanied by the Muncie Symphony Orchestra performing the original musical scores.
