Hey all, you have seen my post about this in the other areas, but I'm working to organize a concert (ideally a concert series, though for now a Los Angeles event) which would feature the music from Firefly, Serenity, Buffy and Angel. Like, full orchestra. If we're really lucky I can try to even get this performed at the Hollywood Bowl ....

But, just like the signatures and outward support which was needed to get Serenity made, I need a very vocalized support from people. Just a quick email: awintory@gmail.com. Drop me a line and say "Yeah, I'd come!" if it interests. I can then present it to the orchestra I'm discussing it with. Possibly as soon as this summer.

We could easily make a big Browncoat shindig out of it.

Let me know!!

*bumpity bump*

While I'm not in the Los Angeles area, concerty goodness for the great one would be cool.

What a GREAT idea Awintory!
I would not be able to attend, I feel very envious of all Brownoats who would be able to. I wish you lots of luck with the organisation of this event.

Hey thanks Art. And by the way, as a composer, your alias rather speaks to me. Brilliant!

As a further caveat to this, would you guys come if I were able to attract Joss, Nathan Fillion, et al (including hopefuls like David Boreanaz, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Charisma Carpenter ....)? I can only assume that'd be a resounding YES. Autographs.

The idea right now is to time it with the Serenity Special Edition release so that maybe we can have special advance copies there signed by Joss and the cast ...

I'll keep you posted but keep emailing me your interest: awintory@gmail.com
cheers!

Awintory,

I'd buy a DVD and/or cd of the concert. If it comes anywhere near me, I pretty sure I would go and I don't usually go to concerts. I drove 3 hours to see a Charity Serenity Screening last June. Hoping to go this June too.

I think a concert would be shiny. I'm a violinist that's been working on arrangements of Firefly and Serenity music for small ensembles. I'd love to hear the music with full orchestra. Unfortunately, I'm far far away from CA, but I'd like to get my hands on the scores! And I second what someone else said about buying a DVD or CD of the event.

Anyway, good luck with the endeavor.

Thanks!

and because I live in Oz,
like Anonymous1 I'd also buy a DVD and/or cd of the concert if one was available.
The idea of inviting celebs along and timing the event to coincide with the release of Serenity SE is brilliant thinking.
Cheers,
Art.

Yep, Anonymous1...but, that's actually not the scores for the show. It's just for piano. I want to see how Greg actually wrote it out or how someone would orchestrate it for full symphony or string orchestra. The movie music would be neat to see for me, as well. Oh, hopes and dreams... *sigh*

So are the full symphony or string orchestra music sheets ever published?

Cause if they were...there could be a

A concert in Whedon's honor
A DVD of the concert
A CD of the concert
A book of sheet music from the concert

T-shirts and posters like this shiny shirt and poster for example from http://www.cantstoptheserenity.com/
Fans arranging Serenity Charity Screenings around the world for Joss Whedon's June 2007 birthday.
