Classical Californians: Kris Bowers
Willy Sanjuan
In celebration of our "Classical California at the Movies" week, we'll revisit our hour with Classical Californian Kris Bowers, nominated this year for his score for The Wild Robot. He's written the music for the films Chevalier, Green Book and the show Bridgerton, and has in recent years been producing films, including the Oscar-winning Short Documentary The Last Repair Shop, and the autobiographical A Concerto is a Conversation. He's selected an interesting lineup of music by Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Jessie Montgomery, Joseph Bologne (Chevalier de Saint-Georges), Gabriella Smith, and more.
