Composer, musician David Amram has written many scores for Broadway and film, including the scores for the movies “Splendor in The Grass” and “The Manchurian Candidate”; two operas, including the groundbreaking Holocaust opera “The Final Ingredient”; and the score for the landmark 1959 cult classic short film “Pull My Daisy,” narrated by Jack Kerouac.
Recognized as a pioneering French horn player and world music ambassador, Amram was Leonard Bernstein's choice as the first composer-in-residence with the New York Philharmonic.
The jazz hall will help Amram celebrate his 81st birthday at 7 p.m. Thursday with a screening of the documentary “David Amram: The First 80 Years,” featuring the film's director Lawrence Kraman.
