Pianist and raconteur Bruno Leone returns to the Athenaeum with an exciting and explorative adventure into “The World of Music & Movies.” Beginning with Hollywood’s earliest attempts at combining music and drama on the silver screen and moving on to the Golden Age of music and cinema, he will play, sing and chat his way through many of cinemas most memorable musical moments. Bruno’s captivating piano stylings combined with his compelling narratives will resurrect many of your fondest musical memories and help create many new ones. In fact, all of his performances capture the folklore and legends of American popular music in a way achieved by few entertainers. A feature article in the San Diego Union-Tribune praised Mr. Leone’s “remarkable skill of combining the classroom with the concert hall to create musical stories that actually enliven his audience.”Date | Wednesday, November 17 at 7:30 p.m. Location | Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, La Jolla Register here!
