Academy Award-nominated composer **Laura** **Karpman** (_American Fiction, The Love Hypothesis, East of Eden, Give Me The Ball!_) makes her directorial debut with the Oscar-qualifying short documentary _Cosmic Symphony_. _Cosmic Symphony_ explores a truth that every musician knows - that musical instruments have souls. Four iconic instruments, including _The Wizard of Oz_ and _A Star is Born_ pianos, all lost in the 2025 Los Angeles Fires, are celebrated by John Clayton, Susie Chung, Starr Parodi and Diane Warren, culminating in an animated send-off towards an imagined future, a Cosmic Symphony. The screening will culminate in a concert performance featuring the musicians in the film and more. _Ticket are free and all donations will go towards MusiCares_, music's largest provider of financial assistance and preventive services, offering trusted support for basic living needs, health care, mental health, addiction recovery and disaster relief to everyone working in music. Executive Produced by John Legend and Mike Jackson of Get Lifted Film Co, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy, Rita Wilson, Christina Kounelias and Peter Rotter. Co-Produced by Amy Andersson. Laura Karpman and Lorenza Muñoz produce. Performance sponsored by BMI, SESAC, Jeff Beal, Nicholas Britell, Charles Fox, Ludwig Göransson, Justin Hurwitz, Christopher Lennertz, Danny Lux, Elizabeth Yi
