<h2>CENTERPIECE PROGRAM: </h2><h2>JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL TRIBUTE  TO LEGENDARY COMPOSER CHARLES FOX</h2><h3>Featuring Q&amp;A with Charles Fox and director Danny Gold following the film </h3><h3>With an Exclusive Live Performance by Charles Fox</h3><p>“Killing Me Softly With His Songs” is a musical documentary about the life and work of composer Charles Fox, known for his classic songs such as “Killing Me Softly With His Song,” Jim Croce’s “I Got A Name,” and Barry Manilow’s “Ready To Take A Chance Again,” as well as iconic television show themes for Happy Days, Laverne &amp; Shirley, The Love Boat and Wonder Woman. </p><p>The film follows Fox’s life and career from his Jewish roots in the Bronx to Paris where he studied with the legendary teacher <strong>Nadia Boulanger (who taught Aaron Copland, Quincy Jones, and Michel Legrand</strong> among others), and landed in Hollywood in the 1970’s where he wrote scores for over 100 films and TV shows. <strong>His Grammy-winning “Killing Me Softly With His Song” was a global chart topper for Roberta Flack as well as the Fugees. </strong>Featuring performances and an array of entertainers—<strong>Rita Wilson, Jason Alexander, Paul Williams, Diane Warren, Alexandre Desplat and Henry Winkler to rapper-actor Common </strong>and more—this utterly engaging profile of a wildly talented yet humble artist showcases music’s unique ability to transcend languages, borders and genres.</p>
