25th August, 2022, Parlophone Records are proud to announce the musical accompaniment to the critically acclaimed forthcoming MOONAGE DAYDREAM, a film by Brett Morgen.
Coming to cinemas in September, MOONAGE DAYDREAM illuminates the life and genius of David Bowie, one of the most prolific and influential artists of our time. Told through sublime, kaleidoscopic, never-before-seen footage, performances and music, Brett Morgen’s (The Kid Stays in the Picture, Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck, Jane) feature length experiential cinematic odyssey explores David Bowie’s creative, musical and spiritual journey. The film is guided by David Bowie’s own narration and is the first officially sanctioned film on the artist.
The companion album to MOONAGE DAYDREAM features songs spanning Bowie’s career and includes previously unheard material, unique mixes created for the film and this release along with dialogue from Bowie himself.
Highlights include a previously unreleased live medley of 'The Jean Genie / Love Me Do / The Jean Genie’ recorded live at the final Ziggy Stardust concert at Hammersmith Odeon in 1973, featuring Jeff Beck on guitar. Other rarities include an early version of the Hunky Dory favourite ‘Quicksand’ and a previously unreleased live version of ‘Rock ’n’ Roll With Me’ from the legendary 1974 ’Soul Tour’.

WORLD PREMIERE ★ BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY ★ THE MUSIC OF DAVID BOWIE
Artistic Director and Former Bowie Collaborator Donny McCaslin
With Guest Artist JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL
Charlotte International Arts Festival Charlotte, NC September 16 & 17, 2022
+ - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - + - +
Charlotte, NC – Charlotte’s Blumenthal Performing Arts is thrilled to announce the world premiere of BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY, The Music of David Bowie, with featured guest vocalist John Cameron Mitchell, taking place on Friday, September 16 and Saturday, September 17 on the stage of the Belk Theater as part of the inaugural Charlotte International Arts Festival (CIAF). A collaboration between BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY Artistic Director Donny McCaslin and The Charlotte Symphony Orchestra, led by Conductor Tim Davies, the concert is a unique and singular interpretation of the music of Blackstar, Bowie’s final musical masterpiece, which was released two days before his untimely death. The Belk Theater is located at 130 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, North Carolina.
For tickets, please visit charlotteartsfest.com or call 704-372-1000. Ticket prices start at $39.50.
Propelled by a 65-piece orchestra, BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY features musical arrangements by world renowned orchestrators Jules Buckley, Tim Davies, Vince Mendoza, Maria Schneider, Jamshied Sharifi, Tony Visconti, Michael Dudley Jr., and Vellu Halkosalmi. Act I showcases the first ever live performance of the entire Blackstar album with full symphony orchestra. Act II celebrates Bowie’s beloved musical catalogue with touchstone Bowie compositions including “Heroes,” “Life on Mars,” “Suffragette City,” “Space Oddity,” and more that serve as a reminder of the pervasiveness of Bowie’s presence in pop culture.
Donny McCaslin was Bowie’s musical partner and saxophone player on the original Blackstar recording. He conceived the idea to re-imagine Bowie’s work for full symphonic orchestra, performing along with his jazz quartet and two vocalists. “I love this music, and it is close to my heart,” McCaslin declared. “David refused to stay in one musical ‘lane’ during his long career, playing with different musical styles and creating a musical language all his own. That principle is at work in this program.” A world tour of BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY is planned in 2023–2024.
Featured vocalist John Cameron Mitchell said, “I’m thrilled to work with Bowie’s brilliant collaborators to help honor the artist that made me what I am today.”
BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY will appear as part of Blumenthal’s inaugural Charlotte International Arts Festival, running from September 16 through October 2, a 17-day event devoted to bringing to Charlotte exceptional artists and entertainment from around the world, as well as showcasing local international cultures and traditions. “Now is the perfect time to celebrate creativity, cultural traditions, and community,” said Tom Gabbard, Blumenthal President and CEO. “The arts foster greater understanding and respect.”
“The creatives from BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY are delighted to be working with Tom Gabbard and the team at Blumenthal Performing Arts to be part of the inaugural Charlotte International Arts Festival,” said Stephen Hendel, Executive Producer of BLACKSTAR SYMPHONY.

“…the power to charm...”
David Bowie has been named Britain’s most influential artist of the last 50 years for his ability to transcend music, film and fashion.
Bowie topped the Sky Arts list of 50 influential artists which recognises renowned artists across the categories of visual arts, literary arts, performing arts, music, film and TV.
The judging panel, led by broadcaster and DJ Lauren Laverne, were challenged by TV channel Sky Arts to create the list and crowned Bowie for his ability to transcend a variety of mediums.
Laverne said: “I was honoured to be chosen to take part in this judging day for Sky Arts, as working with such a respected group of judges, I knew their conversations would be fascinating, and they were. The judges took so much time and care with their scoring to ensure the Top 50, Top 20 and Top 10 lists were truly the best of the best in terms of influence, and the final list are artists that are so deserving of their places. David Bowie coming in at number one was the cherry on top of a brilliant judging process, and it was great to be a part of it.”
A unique portrait of Bowie has been made from individually placed guitar plectrums - each featuring a cut-out shape to symbolise all the artistic disciplines Bowie influenced.
Artist Joe Black, who created the two-metre tall piece, said: “This portrait was created to celebrate David Bowie being named the most influential artist of the last 50 years. His visual representation had a huge impact across all of the arts worldwide. The idea was to use thousands of specially designed plectrums, with each design representing one of the five artistic areas of Bowie's creative life and influences - music, film, fashion, literature and art. Bowie was a maverick and a global icon who initiated a new Bowie era in popular culture.”
Philip Edgar-Jones, director of Sky Arts, said: “As our number one artist, we wanted to honour David Bowie in a way that would feel fitting to the scale of his influence. The artwork that has been created by Joe Black honours the ways that Bowie's influence transcends genres, through guitar picks with cut-out designs of music, art, stage and screen.”
Crafted using 8,610 3-D printed plectrums reflecting the art forms he influenced with one design depicting the Aladdin Sane lightning bolt, the artwork took over six weeks to make and will be donated to a school in Bowie’s hometown of Brixton.
