Registration is closed for the inaugural Southeast Film Music Symposium, which is this weekend at three downtown locations, but tickets remain for the two feature concerts that are open to the general public.

For the first, on Saturday, March 2, composer Don Davis will lead the Chattanooga Symphony & Opera in a performance of the soundtrack he wrote for “The Matrix” while the film plays on the big screen at the Tivoli.

On Sunday, March 3, the “Hooray for Holiday” concert will feature George S. Clinton conducting the CSO during the performance of his Shagadelic Suite from the Austin Powers movies.

Also Sunday, composer Peter Golub will premiere his suite from “These Amazing Shadows,” an award-winning documentary about the history and importance of the National Film Registry, and CSO Music Director Emeritus Robert Bernhardt will lead a program of Hollywood favorites by such composers as John Williams, Max Steiner and Dmitri Tiomkin.
