When we will again see a live Colorado Springs Philharmonic performance is still unknown.
To tide patrons and other music lovers over, the Philharmonic and Rocky Mountain Women’s Film will offer Filmharmonic, a monthly virtual film series.
“I’m excited about the opportunity to introduce folks, who maybe only come to film events, to the Philharmonic and vice versa,” says Rocky Mountain Women’s Film Executive Director Linda Broker. “It’s at a time when both organizations are really handcuffed by what’s going on with the pandemic.”
The 2017 documentary “Itzhak” will kick off the series Friday and Saturday. Alison Chernick’s 83-minute film chronicles the life of world-renowned violinist and polio survivor Itzhak Perlman through conversations with his fellow musicians, family, friends and his wife of 50 years.
