MOVIE WATCH PARTY: Vladimir Horowitz: The Last Romantic
Join South Florida Symphony for a movie watch party of Vladimir Horowitz: The Last Romantic, a charming and revealing documentary that paints an intimate portrait of the revered Russian-born classical pianist. In extensive interviews, the famed performer jokes, talks about his life and his favorite music — including the work of Sergei Rachmaninoff, Alexander Scriabin and Frédéric Chopin. He also plays pieces by those and other composers, including Bach and Mozart. His wife, Wanda Toscanini Horowitz, is featured alongside him and shares many memories about their life together.
A tribute as much to the spirit of the man as to his internationally acclaimed talent, this Emmy award-winning documentary would be enjoyable for anyone interested in good music and unusually gifted musicians.

MOVIE WATCH PARTY | Chopin: The Women Behind The Music
Join in the conversation, as we together enjoy Chopin: The Women Behind The Music, a fascinating documentary about the life of great pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin and the story of the women whose voices inspired his music.
To mark the 200th anniversary of Chopin’s birth, this 2010 film follows young concert pianist James Rhodes on a journey to Warsaw, Paris and London to explore the singers who enchanted the composer with their voices: Konstancja, a young soprano and the object of his teenage affections; Delfina, a Polish Parisian émigré countess; fellow composer and opera singer Pauline Viardot; and, during the final few months of his life, the Swedish operatic superstar Jenny Lind.
Threaded through the narrative of the film, Rhodes performs a selection of Chopin’s piano music, while rising young opera singer Natalya Romaniw performs some of the signature arias that thrilled Chopin.
