Philharmonia Fantastique: The Making of the Orchestra is out on Apple TV

A 25′ journey inside the beating heart of the orchestra.

Created by director Gary Rydstrom (Strange Magic), animation director Jim Capobianco (Ratatouille), and composer/DJ Mason Bates (The Revolution of Steve Jobs)

John Williams: “A truly magnificent achievement…[Philharmonia Fantastique] takes its place proudly alongside the treasures of Saint-Säens’ Carnival of the Animals and Britten’s Young Person’s Guide in offering the next generation a brilliant tutorial on the magic of the modern orchestra.  In the art of marrying music with animation, Philharmonia Fantastique is the biggest step forward since Fantasia itself.”
