||| FROM SAM GAILEY for ORCAS ISLAND LIBRARY |||
AMADEUS, the 1984 film about Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, won eight Academy Awards. For good reason. Best Picture, as well as Best Actor, Director, Screenplay, and more. This brilliantly crafted film tells the partially true, partially imagined story of Mozart and his rival, Antonio Salieri.
The film is showing on Monday, March 24 at 6 p.m. at Orcas Center.
Following the film, Orcas Choral Society director and quasi-accurate music historian Bruce Langford will talk briefly about what is true and not true in the film. In some instances illustrating that the truth is even stranger than fiction.
Co-sponsored by Orcas Center and Orcas Public Library. Free admission!

I have seen this film several times and am curious to hear what our quasi-local, quasi-accurate music historian has to say about it. When is this happening?
