Fans of Wes Anderson—one of the great auteurs of cinema of our time—hail the filmmaker's brilliant writing, artfully quirky sensibility, sumptuous color palette, love of visual symmetry, his exquisitely detailed art design (each film a unique world unto itself) and, of course, his rigorous and inventive use of music. In his new opus, The Phoenician Scheme (now in theaters), he makes extensive and effective use of the music of Igor Stravinsky—so extensive and effective, in fact, that is almost becomes like another character in the film. Friday afternoon, Foley will provide an insider's guide to the music of Stravinsky as it appears in The Phoenician Scheme, and present those works and much more.
You can hear Foley Schuler's musical selections—and stories behind the music—every weekday afternoon from 1 until 5 on Blue Lake Public Radio.
