The event, entitled Deadline Sound & Screen Film, is set to take place at the University of California Los Angeles (UCLA) at 5:30 p.m. local time.
The concert is billed as a “musical showcase featuring composers and filmmakers from the year’s most celebrated films.”
The Peasants, a hand-painted animation by Dorota Kobiela (DK) Welchman and Hugh Welchman, is Poland’s official entry for Best International Feature Film at the 2024 Academy Awards.
It is also in the race for the 2024 Oscar in the Best Original Score category.
The Peasants’ original soundtrack, written by Łukasz “L.U.C.” Rostkowski, will be performed by a live 60-piece orchestra at the Deadline Sound & Screen Film concert at UCLA's Royce Hall on Thursday night.
It will be showcased alongside original tracks from 2023’s other most celebrated films, including Ridley Scott’s Napoleon, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon, Polish state news agency PAP reported.
The Deadline Sound & Screen Film concert will also feature discussions with filmmakers, composers and songwriters behind the Oscars entries, the organisers said.
The Peasants’ soundtrack, written by Rostkowski and recorded in collaboration with the international Rebel Babel orchestra, is based on traditional Polish sound produced by authentic folk instruments, but with a modern twist, the PAP news agency reported.
The soundtrack has been released worldwide by Milan Records, a Los Angeles-based label that specialises in film scores.
