The Brevard Music Center and the WNC Film Society announce a new partnership bringing together the beauty and excitement of film and music.
BMC and WNCFS will collaborate on projects during the Music Center’s season and throughout the year that explore the vital role music plays in movies. Inter-disciplinary activities will include film screenings, lectures, panel discussions, concerts, and more.
The inaugural project of this new partnership will be a special event on July 9, during the Brevard Music Center season – Melody Defines Story in Short Films. BMC and WNCFS will explore the impact of music on movies focusing on film shorts, followed by a panel discussion with industry experts.
