online<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\nThe concert, hosted by Bill Murray alongside other special guests, will showcase performances from Anderson\u2019s closest musical collaborators, a selection of clips from his most popular films including The Royal Tenenbaums (2001), Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014) and more, to create an immersive concert experience.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHis soundtracks and his movie music selections are so iconic, it\u2019s almost just like a sampling of it all,\u201d Vice President of Programming and Creative Partnerships of L.A. Philharmonic Johanna Rees said in regard to the collaboration.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe\u2019s really been the architect of the shows. He has a distinct vision, of course, so we\u2019ve been following his lead and putting it together with his guidance,\u201d Rees added. \u201cYou\u2019re watching the films, but you\u2019re also taken on this journey through the music and through the sound.\u201d<\/p>\n
The music of Anderson\u2019s films comes from various decades and genres, but the concert series beautifully ties them together in one place for the first time ever. From songs by the Kinks and the Rolling Stones to distinctive scores by Mark Mothersbaugh and Alexandre Desplat, Anderson\u2019s films have a unique sound that instantly enthralls you in the world of Anderson.<\/p>\n
Conductor Thomas Wilkins commands the full orchestra, two choirs, a house band, various soloists, as well as a banjo player and even a whistler to bring Anderson\u2019s film to life. Musicians and actors including Beck, Jenny Lewis, Jackson Browne, Jason Schwartzman and Mothersbaugh himself will perform fan-favorite songs, scores and classical selections from Anderson\u2019s filmography.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jim James, one of the vocalists for the concerts, is a huge fan of all the films and music of Anderson and will be singing a few songs at the event. Even though he knows the songs well, he hasn\u2019t had the chance to play them before, so he\u2019s enjoyed entering the world of the song through this experience.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just try to let the music speak through me, and the really beautiful thing about music is that it exists outside of all of us,\u201d James said. \u201cIt\u2019s like a really cool chance for me to step outside of myself and be an instrument for somebody else\u2019s spirit to come through.\u201d<\/p>\n
As the grounds of the Hollywood Bowl transform into a wonderland of Anderson\u2019s works, themed displays, character-inspired treats, limited-edition merch and The Criterion Mobile Closet are open for fans to explore. Audiences can also take a look at The Criterion Cinema, which will be showing screenings of films personally selected by the director himself.<\/p>\n
So bust out your Tenenbaum furs and eyeliner, grab your Mendl\u2019s desserts and prepare for the sights and sounds of one of cinema\u2019s most visionary directors. The concert is a little different each night, so you\u2019ll be surprised no matter what version of Anderson\u2019s surreal world you step into.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"This weekend, L.A.
