Joanna Arnold Darrow Performs with the Philadelphia Orchestra - USAby Harley Jones |
On June 25, 2015, Joanna Arnold Darrow performed the important accordion parts with the Philadelphia Orchestra in "The Godfather" Live. This was a presentation of the film The Godfather with the Philadelphia Orchestra performing the sound track live. Winner of three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, The Godfather came to life on the big screen with Nino Rota’s iconic and haunting score. Ranked as one of the best movies of all time by the American Film Institute, The Godfather music with a live orchestra makes an amazing impact. Joanna Arnold Darrow has brought the accordion to the attention of local professional musicians and to members of the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra, for which she now serves as staff accordionist. On Saturday, the Philadelphia Symphony Orchestra performs with Andrea Bocelli and Juanes at the Festival of Families for Pope Francis and on Sunday at the Papal Mass in PA. In 2000, Joanna performed the Tango of David Argento with the Philadelphia Orchestra and the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam with the Kennett Square Symphony. Joanna Arnold Darrow has performed many concerts in the USA and Europe, is a tutor at Acme Accordion School and is a long time Board member of the Accordionists & Teachers Guild, International (ATG). |
