Whiplash (film score)

0 upcoming performances in New York

*Whiplash (film score)* brings the film’s tense musical architecture into a concert setting, where rhythm and control become the subject as much as the sound. At Town Hall, a classical music ensemble performs the score live, tracing its shifts between restraint and pressure. The movie’s 2014 New York premiere at the New York Film Festival helped cement it as a local reference point for contemporary music-on-screen. Heard without dialogue, the writing’s discipline reads less like accompaniment and more like narrative engine.
