Peanuts Gallery
SnoopyIn 1990, Pulitzer Prize-winning composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich and beloved cartoonist Charles M. Schulz began an extraordinary friendship that would ultimately unite their creative talents in one masterwork. Through interviews with Zwilich and Mrs. Schulz, along with character clips and rarely seen footage of Charles Schulz himself, this documentary explains how Charlie Brown, Snoopy, and the rest of the Peanuts gang went from the daily comics to Carnegie Hall. This program for all ages features a performance of Zwilich's Peanuts Gallery for Piano and Orchestra by the Florida State University Symphony Orchestra.
