1931 FRANKENSTEIN Film Set for Screeningwith New Score by UT Wind EnsembleTonight

Texas Performing Arts presents a screening of the1931 filmFRANKENSTEIN, starring Boris Karloff as the Frankensteinmonster, featuring a new film score by composer MichaelShapiro performed by The University of Texas Wind Ensemble,Jerry F. Junkin, conductor. The first half of the program featuresthe UT Wind Ensemble performing Bach's Toccata and Fugue inD Minor and Dukas' The Sorcerer's Apprentice, with videoprojections designed by UT graduate Stephanie Busing.

Unlike The Bride of Frankenstein (1935) with its lush score byFranz Waxman, the 1931 FRANKENSTEIN was producedwithout a movie score. Movie critics have remarked thatFrankenstein is badly in need of music, and American composerMichael Shapiro was up to the task with a commission for a newfilm score from the Film Society of Lincoln Center. Mr. Shapiro's70-minute score is orchestrated for wind ensemble and will beperformed by UT's renowned wind ensemble. For modern daymoviegoers, Mr. Shapiro's haunting music adds significantly tothe emotional impact of the film.

Michael Shapiro's works, which in the aggregate address nearlyevery medium, have been performed widely throughout the

United States, Canada, and Europe -- with broadcasts of premieres on National Public Radio, the CanadianBroadcasting Corporation, the Israel Broadcasting Authority, Sender Freies Berlin, WQXR, and WCBS-TV. His musichas been characterized in a New York Times review as "possessing a rare melodic gift." His oeuvre includes morethan one hundred works for solo voice, piano, chamber ensembles, chorus, orchestra, as well as for opera, film, andtelevision, with recordings on Naxos and Paumanok Records.

Conducted by Jerry F. Junkin, The University of Texas Wind Ensemble has firmly established itself as one ofAmerica's elite wind bands. Active in the area of commissioning new music since 1988, the group has offered worldpremiere performances of works by composers such as John Corigliano, Michael Daugherty, Donald Grantham,David Maslanka, and Dan Welcher.

The Wind Ensemble made its international debut at the Fifth Conference of the World Association of SymphonicBands and Ensembles in Manchester, England, in 1991, and its New York debut at Carnegie Hall in February 1998.In the summer of 2008, the ensemble embarked on a seventeen day European Tour, performing in prestigiousfestivals and venues in England, Luxembourg, Switzerland, Austria, and Spain.
