If you've ever watched the Netflix political drama House of Cards, you'll know the theme song not only introduces the show but aptly sets the mood for a tale rife with corruption, perversion, power, and sometimes murder.
The man who has given us this theme — and many other compositions for both television and the big screen — is Jeff Beal.
Yesterday, Beal was at Symphony Hall with members of the Boston Symphony Orchestra recording the score to "Boston," a new feature-length documentary about the Boston Marathon. Its world premiere is April 15 at the Boch Center’s Wang Theatre. The Boston Pops Esplanade Orchestra will perform the full score live, and Beal will be conducting.
Beal joined Boston Public Radio to discuss his work, the upcoming film, and more. To hear the interview, tune in to Boston Public Radio above.
