Yabba Dabba Doo!

Since most folks cite cartoons as being their first exposure to classical music, the KSO has rummaged through archives, cut-up musical selections, pieced together cues and invited professionals in the animation industry for a concert / screening / panel discussion and unique presentation of nostalgic cartoons from 1950-1995.

If you remember watching Tom and Jerry, Bugs Bunny, The Pink Panther on Saturday mornings, or the Animaniacs after school, don’t miss these looney cut-ups and crack-ups tied to nearly three generations of animated fun. In addition to many of your favorite cartoon themes (Flinstones, Jetsons, Jonny Quest, The Simpsons, etc.), you will meet Steve and Julie Bernstein the composers and orchestrators of Steven Speilberg’s Animaniacs, as they offer animated clips and music from numerous cartoons that they scored for Warner Brothers in the mid ‘90s. Actor Rob Paulsen will voice to clips — two of his famous cartoon characters — Yakko Warner and Pinky (from Pinky and the Brain). Moderating discussions and hosting the program will be author and cartoon music expert Dr. Daniel Goldmark.

Thats All, Folks!
