Trafalgar Releasing To Bring Metallica And San Francisco Symphony: S&M 2 To Cinemas Worldwide On October 9
Trafalgar Releasing is excited to announce the forthcoming release of Metallica and San Francisco Symphony: S&M² in cinemas worldwide this October 9. Metallica and San Francisco Symphony reunite to celebrate the 20th anniversary of their original S&M (Symphony & Metallica) show with S&M², filmed at San Francisco’s new Chase Center.
Kymberli Frueh, SVP for Programming and Content Acquisitions at Trafalgar Releasing said: “Trafalgar Releasing is excited to give Metallica fans around the world a chance to celebrate this anniversary concert together in local cinemas in October. The original collaboration between two San Francisco legends—Metallica and San Francisco Symphony became a true moment in music history two decades ago. Reuniting again to perform S&M² is a salute to the legendary collaboration and creates a special moment for Metallica fans to see this iconic pairing.”
S&M 2 includes several tracks from the original ’99 S&M release as well as symphonic versions of new songs released since then. This theatrical release gives millions of fans around the world the chance to eclipse time and experience the show as a modern-day big screen concert.
The original S&M concerts were performed by Metallica and San Francisco Symphony and conducted by the late Michael Kamen in spring of 1999 at the Berkeley Community Theatre. 2019’s S&M² concert will feature the first live performances of these arrangements in 20 years, plus the first-ever Metallica and San Francisco Symphony renditions of songs written and released since the original concert, with new orchestral charts by Bruce Coughlin.
Metallica’s first collaboration with San Francisco Symphony was documented by the Grammy-winning live album S&M.
