Red's sixth season comes to an exciting conclusion with a concert  
featuring the music of film composer Bernard Herrmann, whose scores  
for classic films of Alfred Hitchcock--Vertigo, North By Northwest and  
Psycho--are unmatched in their distinctive style. His style as a film  
composer, keen psychological atmospheres made with simple means, was  
formed in his concert music. His early pieces in the manner of his  
idol, Arnold Schoenberg, matured as he worked in radio and then  
Hollywood, his ambition remaining high, even as his film music  
eclipsed all other efforts. In this unique program, film clips  
featuring Herrmann's Hollywood music mingle with a suite from Psycho,  
and work from his time in the 1930s at CBS Radio. The highlight of the  
program is a group of excerpts from his rarely produced opera,  
Wuthering Heights, perhaps the greatest unknown opera in the history  
of American music.
