ScoreKeeper Wants To Tell You About A SuperCool Live Performance Of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Music With Bear McCreary!!
Greetings! ScoreKeeper here sounding the alarm to all fans of BATTLESTAR GALACTICA and admirers of its acclaimed composer Bear McCreary.
Next month, on April 13th, at 8:00PM at the Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood, California, Bear will be conducting a one-night only concert performance of his music from BATTLESTAR GALACTICA.
This is truly one of those special events keeping the mantra behind this site’s namesake alive. If you’re a fan of the show and its indelible music and you live anywhere remotely near Los Angeles, you’ll want to mark your calendars and attend this extraordinary event.
Film music isn’t performed live nearly as often as it should and television music performances are virtually non-existent. Here is a great opportunity to hear one of film and television’s rising stars conduct his own music to one of television’s biggest hits performed by the same musicians who perform the scores week in and week out.

Bear led a similar performance last year at a smaller venue. The success of last year’s show coupled with a deafening demand for more appearances by the young composer has led this year’s concert to the much larger and more prestigious Roxy Theatre in West Hollywood.
To spike the punch at the party, there will also be a host of special guest appearances, an exclusive screening of a new BATTLESTAR GALACTICA music documentary, and a CD signing with Bear himself.
Below is the official press release and flyer with all the pertinent information.
You’ll not want to miss this one!

LA-LA LAND RECORDS PRESENT
BEAR MCCREARY
THE MUSIC OF BATTLESTAR GALACTICA
A Special One-Night Only Concert Performance of the Music from SCIFI’s
Critically Acclaimed Television Series
Evening Emceed by James Callis
(March 12, 2008- Burbank, CA) – CineMedia Promotions, La-La Land Records, and Battlestar Galactica composer Bear McCreary present a special one night concert performance of the music from the first three seasons of Battlestar Galactica, on April 13th at The Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles.
Considered one of the top 10 shows currently on TV, by Time Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, and TV Guide, Battlestar Galactica won the prestigious Peabody Award in 2005. In 2006 in conjunction with the release of the Season 2 soundtrack CD, Bear McCreary and his ensemble performed a special one-night performance of the music of Season 2. The event was a huge success, selling out the venue. This year the event moves to a larger space, the famed Roxy Theatre on the Sunset Strip.
The performing ensemble, conducted by composer Bear McCreary includes former members of Oingo Boingo and vocalist Brendan “BT4” McCreary, who sings “All Along the Watchtower” from Season 3. An original documentary about the making of the score will also be presented.
James Callis (the show’s Dr. Gaius Baltar) will host the evening. Additional members of the cast and production team will be in attendance.
Co-presenters La-La Land Records has released four soundtrack recordings of the works of composer Bear McCreary: Wrong Turn 2, and the Battlestar Galactica: Season One, Season Two, and Season Three soundtracks.
The evening will also celebrate the 10th Anniversary of CineMedia Promotions, an independent publicity, web and radio promotions firm specializing in film soundtrack and cast album recordings. CineMedia Promotions, founded by Beth Krakower, has promoted all three of the soundtracks for Battlestar Galactica.
Composer Bear McCreary also scores the hit series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles and SCI FI Channel’s highest rated series, Eureka. His feature film credits include Wrong Turn 2 and Rest Stop. McCreary was among a handful of select protégés of late film music legend Elmer Bernstein (The Magnificent Seven) and is a classically trained composer with degrees in Composition and Recording Arts from the prestigious USC Thornton School of Music.
