In honor of legendary film and television composer, pianist and conductor Lalo Schifrin's 80th birthday, Morricone Youth
paid tribute to one of the show's biggest influences. If you missed it,

Schifrin (nee Boris Claudio Schifrin)
was born 80 years ago today in Buenos Aires, Argentina and has written
over 100 film and television scores including Mission Impossible, Cool Hand Luke, Bullitt, Amityville Horror, Enter The Dragon, four of the Dirty Harry films, and more recently the Rush Hour trilogy.
Lalo Schifrin has won five Grammys along with multiple Oscar noms and
has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Also just announced last week,
Lalo Schifrin will be the recipient of the prestigious Max Steiner Film
Music Achievement Award to be presented on October 22 of this year
during the Hollywood of Vienna concert.
“I am very fortunate to have been invited by the City of Vienna to receive the Max Steiner Lifetime Achievement Award,” said Schifrin. “This means so very much to me because of the great legacy that this implies, especially because of its music history.”
