the red violin (soundtrack)
corigliano adapted his score into a concert, concerto for violin and orchestra ("the red violin"), performed in baltimore, dallas and atlanta from 2003 to 2004. in 2005, it was performed at the san francisco ballet. he later wrote another adaptation, "the red violin: chaconne for violin and orchestra".









































after the film's release, red mendelssohn owner elizabeth pitcairn also learned its chaconne, which she called "spooky", adding "that's when the violin can tell its own story; that's when it can actually speak". pitcairn brought the "red violin" to the prince george symphony orchestra in 2012.
