Susie Benchasil Seiter, conductor San Diego Symphony Orchestra "The Ring" – the landmark psychological horror film directed by Gore Verbinski – comes to Jacobs Music Center for a one-night-only concert performance. The film will be shown on the big screen as the San Diego Symphony Orchestra performs Hans Zimmer’s haunting score, conducted by Susie Benchasil Seiter. One of the most iconic modern-day horror films, the tale begins when the bizarre death of a teenage girl leads journalist Rachel Keller (Naomi Watts) to investigate a mysterious urban legend. In a cabin she discovers a videocassette containing disturbing imagery, and anyone who views the tape receives a chilling phone call from an unknown voice warning “seven days.” In the liner notes of the original motion picture soundtrack, composer Hans Zimmer describes the score’s minimalist, unsettling approach as essential to the film’s creeping dread and psychological tension. "The Ring," released by DreamWorks Pictures in 2002, helped redefine modern horror and remains one of the most influential psychological thrillers of its era.
