The Soundtrack Series

Saturday, Feb 8, 2014

Created and hosted by the brilliant and energetic Dana Rossi, The Soundtrack Series is a live show and podcast where performers and writers tell the personal stories they forever associate with a particular song—the soundtrack to their lives. The Soundtrack Series has been called “the best rock and roll storytelling event in New York” by Flavorpill, “One of the Top Ten Podcasts in NYC” by Time Out New York, and featured in The New York Times, BUST, The Source, NY1, and included among the “Best Events and Things to Do in NYC” by CBS News New York. The Soundtrack Series appears live regularly in New York City at The Gallery at Le Poisson Rouge, and in Austin, Texas at The Rollins Theater at the Long Center for the Performing Arts.

Presented live at Museum of the Moving Image, the Soundtrack Series features stories about how fans have been affected by music in film—from favorite music videos to the most unforgettable movie soundtracks. Through personal stories, the show holds a magnifying glass up to the influence that music on film has had on our culture by zeroing in on the personal, specific ways that it has mattered to us.
