On Saturday, November 14, 2026, the Jacksonville Symphony will present the world premiere of a newly commissioned orchestral score for the silent film The Flying Ace (1926), performed live with a screening of the film in celebration of its 100th Anniversary. Conducted by Music Director Courtney Lewis, the Jacksonville Symphony has commissioned six leading composers to create the new score, each writing music for one of the film’s six reels. GRAMMY nominee Carlos Simon serves as lead composer, creating the concert’s musical themes and composing the score for the film’s opening reel. The remaining composers – Jongnic Bontemps, Kathryn Bostic, Nathalie Joachim, Allison Loggins-Hull, and Levi Taylor – will each compose approximately 10 minutes of music for the remaining reels, drawing on Simon’s thematic material while bringing their own musical voices to the work. Advanced silent-film synchronization techniques, including a click track and “punches and streamers,” will allow the conductor and orchestra to precisely align the live performance with the film projected above the stage. This is made possible with support from Sync Technology Development & Playback Technician Grant O’Brien. The concert revives a remarkable artifact of American cinema history. The Flying Ace is the only surviving feature-length film of the nine produced by Jacksonville’s Norman Studios, one of the first studios in the United States dedicated to films
