The Grand Feature Film Orchestra (GFFO)
We're a non-profit San Francisco Bay Area student/community group based in Vacaville, California. With a passion for how music, sound effects, and visual media come together to tell stories, The Grand Feature Film Orchestra studies, rehearses, and presents creative original and restored film scores live with the movie. Films from Chaplin, Lloyd, Keaton, Lang, and more, come to life with the music perfectly synchronized with the action on the screen.
This ensemble plays classical and current repertoire. Unlike most classical training, students are guided through improvisation sections in each performance piece.

This session will focus on The Entertainer by Scott Joplin, The Deserted Garden by Florence Price and a sing-along-play-along of Iz's version of Over the Rainbow to perform on May 20th.
