Each year WXXI Classical presents a series of films that are related to classical music in some way. Selected by our classical music hosts Brenda Tremblay, Mona Seghatoleslami, and Steve Johnson each film chosen exemplifies the power of music in a non-traditional narrative. Films are often preceded by subject-related live music in The Little Cafe or followed by live panel discussion following the film.

Join WXXI for Classical 91.5 Presents, a series that spotlights classical music connections in film. 

Classical 91.5 Presents...The Triplets of Belleville Saturday July 16th at 3pm at The Little Theatre.

This animated masterpiece is a spectacle of sight and sound. 

The Triplets of Belleville is the story of Madame Souza and her beloved dog Bruno who team up with the Belleville sisters, song and dance performers from times past, to find Souza’s grandson who was kidnapped during the Tour de France. The movie tells its story without dialogue and uses sight and song to weave an engaging experience that is accessible for both young and old alike. 

The screening will be followed by a discussion of music and storytelling, hosted by WXXI's Mona Seghatoleslami, with: 

Rebecca Burditt, Associate Professor of Media and Society at Hobart and William Smith College

Tyler Cassidy-Heacock, Musicologist; Assistant Director of Development at the Hochstein School of Music
