The Robinson Film Center and Shreveport Symphony Orchestra will present an evening of music and film exploring the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, whose 250th birthday is being celebrated worldwide this year, says the SSO's Scott Green.

The Premier String Quartet will perform a mini concert at 7 pm. The Quartet is led by SSO concertmaster Kermit Poling and includes Elizabeth O’Bannon, violist Adrienne Gabriel and cellist Ruth Drummond. At 7:30 pm, The RFC will present “In Search of Mozart,” a full-length documentary film that explores the personal and professional life of the composer.

This event is the first Louisiana screening and one of the first American screenings of “In Search of Mozart.” Produced by a UK-based documentary company, the film approaches Mozart’s music and life in an investigative manner, seeking to answer long-standing questions about the life and mind of Mozart.
