This advanced screening event includes a Q&A session with the film's director, Ty Kim, followed by an informal reception.The film profiles the American composer and Harvard professor Earl Kim (1920-1998) whose story confirms the power of music to change lives. It features interviews with such global artists as the iconic violinist Itzhak Perlman who recorded an album of the composer's violin concerto with Seiji Ozawa and the Boston Symphony Orchestra.Notably, in 1965, Earl visited Samuel Beckett in Paris and received permission to set the writer's literary texts to his music.
