Justin Hurwitz prepares to conduct 'Whiplash in Concert' in L.A. with an 18-piece ensemble. Unlike typical film concerts, where orchestras play pre-recorded soundtracks, the live drummer matches the frantic tempo seen on screen, showcasing the complex interplay of live jazz music and film. Much of 'Whiplash's' music is performed by characters, including both existing tunes and original compositions, compelling the musicians to be deeply familiar with the score. This concert series reflects the painstaking effort behind capturing the film's intense and chaotic musical moments.
"It's not one of those parts where you can just, if you're a good player, sight-read it."
"'Whiplash' is somewhat unusual in that much of its music is seen performed by characters on the screen."
