Opening our 2024-2025 season is a sparkling September minifestival celebrating an iconic figure in American music. Henry Mancini’s unforgettable scores for the cinema, television and recordings earned twenty Grammy awards, four Oscars and commissions from the New York Philharmonic and Boston Symphony Orchestra—and a place in the hearts of generations of fans. Scott Flavin conducts the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra in a spectacular evening of memorable scores and clips from classic movies, including favorites like “Breakfast at Tiffany’s,” “Victor/Victoria” and “The Pink Panther.”
Experience the Mancini magic: join us for a special series of film screenings curated by the Library’s Music Division and the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center. Check out upcoming events in the Mary Pickford Theater, James Madison Building, and a month of great Mancini films presented at the Packard Campus of the National Audio-Visual Conservation Center.
A display of scores, letters and photographs from the Library’s Henry Mancini Papers will be on view in the Coolidge Auditorium foyer on September 28.
