Schifrin has written classic television themes and more than 100 film scores, including Mission: Impossible, Mannix, Bullitt, Cool Hand Luke, The Cincinnati Kid and The Competition, among others. The evening, which will begin at 8pm, will be presented by Musicians at Play, Music Fund Los Angeles, and Varèse Sarabande, with guest conductor Chris Walden leading an all-star big band in honoring Schifrin’s life, artistry, and esteemed body of work.
