—A Spectacular Visual Journey Through America’s First National Park Set to Classical Music—
From the ethereal wonders at Mammoth Hot Springs to the grandeur of Tower Fall to its extraordinary wildlife, “Yellowstone Symphony” takes viewers on a spectacular visual journey through America's first national park.
Set to classical music from some of the world’s best composers, the park’s magnificent scenery and wildlife are showcased as they change through the seasons.
The stunning cinematography offers viewers a tourist-free look at the plentiful wildlife — elk, moose, grizzly bears, wolves and bison (recently named “America’s National Animal”) — and other inhabitants of Yellowstone National Park.
Sometimes called “the Serengeti of the West,” Yellowstone became the world’s first national park, beginning America’s long love affair with these landmarks.
Yellowstone’s thermal features and geyser basins — including the iconic “Old Faithful” and other marvels — are famed worldwide and attract visitors from every continent.
This lyrical film, without narration, skillfully blends imagery with the music of Smetana, Vivaldi, Schubert, Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Debussy, Tchaikovsky and others.
Time-lapse, underwater, slow motion and aerial photography are featured in this portrait of one of the world’s best-loved places.
