Washington, D.C, September 26, 2024 (Issuewire.com) – The Ring Music Group is proud to announce its involvement in the PBS film series RENEGADES, contributing original music for three of five pivotal episodes in the series.
The three episodes scored by The Ring Music Group are titled “Celestine Tate Harrington (1955-1998),” “Brad Lomax (1950-1984),” and “Thomas Wiggins (1849-1908).” As a leading name in music production, The Ring Music Group was entrusted with the responsibility of scoring key moments in the series, adding a deep layer of emotional resonance to the bold storytelling.
RENEGADES refers to a documentary series that focuses on individuals or groups such as persons with disabilities, who have challenged the status quo, broken barriers, and made significant impacts in various fields, often in unconventional or rebellious ways. The series is part of PBS’ American Masters program, which highlights the lives and contributions of pioneering individuals in the history of American culture.
The Ring Music Group describes the overall opportunity to score and produce soundtracks for the big screen as an act of historical preservation where their music becomes the rhythm of the untold stories, blending culture, memory, and emotion into one cohesive legacy.
In celebration of RENEGADES, The Kennedy Center, Washington DC, hosted “Extraordinary Cinema: World Premiere: American Masters’ Renegades” on Sunday, September 29, 2024. This highly-anticipated event, free of cost and open to the public, featured the world premiere of the PBS series, offering audiences an exclusive first look at the groundbreaking stories of trailblazers who defy societal norms. “We’re honored to have been a part of such a transformative project,” said Carvin Haggins, Multi-GRAMMY Award Winning Producer, Multi-Platinum Songwriter and CEO of The Ring Music Group. “Our goal with the score in the RENEGADES series was to capture the essence of these compelling stories, giving them a musical identity that reflects their spirit of rebellion and innovation. The Kennedy Center premiere was an esteemed platform to showcase this collaboration.”
The event marked a pivotal moment not only for the RENEGADES series but also for The Ring Music Group, whose nationally recognized work continues to shine on the grand stage. Committed to delivering impactful and culturally resonant music, The Ring Music Group’s contribution to this documentary aligns synonymously with its mission to elevate storytelling through sound. Being featured in this series is yet another testament to The Ring Music Group’s enduring influence and dedication to shaping the narrative of history through their exceptional scores.
