LONDON, Nov. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Preparations for Lovaganza, worldwide celebrations and tribute to all of Earth's cultures, scheduled for a 2020 opening, continue as Lovaganza founders Jean François and Genevieve Gagnon (also known as creative duo JF&G) begin recording "The Marvelous 12" animated series musical score.

"The Marvelous 12" animated series will tell the backstory of "The Lovaganza Convoy" films and will be presented during the Lovaganza traveling show leading up to the Lovaganza 2020 worldwide celebrations. JF&G plan to release the animated series in cinemas worldwide as well.
Adding to the excitement, is the location of the recording, which took place at Abbey Road Studios in London, the most respected and recognized recording facility in the world.

"We felt that as much of the music for the Lovaganza celebrations and accompanying films as possible had to be recorded at Abbey Road because it is such a fixture in international history," Jean François explained, referring to the work of the Beatles, Pink Floyd, U2, and Elton John and not to mention, films like Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and Braveheart, all recorded at Abbey Road.

Each musical piece for "The Marvelous 12" was composed by JF&G, with musical arrangements provided by Chris Elliot, who is known for his work as arranger on such iconic productions as Baz Luhrmann's box office hit film "Moulin Rouge!" , Amy Winehouse's Back to Black album and on both of Adele's multi-award winning 19 and 21 records. Orchestration is the work of Geoff Alexander, whose background includes such projects as the Harry Potter film franchise, Gravity, and Planet Earth. Simon Rhodes, known for an astounding body of work that includes The Jungle Book, Spectre, Avatar and Grand Budapest Hotel to name only a few, served as the sound engineer for the recording sessions. Additionally, the orchestra for the project was composed of more than 70 of England's best symphony players and a talented chorus of singers.

"The Marvelous 12" animated series is a crucial aspect of the celebrations as a whole, and we are truly confident in the team we have assembled," according to Genevieve Gagnon. "Jean François and I are grateful to be working with a group of such talented artists and individuals."

The bohemian adventure-inspired celebration will simultaneously showcase all cultures on Earth with groundbreaking and bedazzling entertainment from motion pictures to immersive attractions, and exhibitions

NEW YORK, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Reminiscent of the classic Cinerama feel and the nostalgia of the World's Fairs of a bygone era, and inspired by the past, present and future of every nation in the world, Lovaganza 2020 is gearing for its international celebration scheduled to take place from May to September 2020 simultaneously in eight flagship locations around the globe. The celebrations will showcase all cultures on Earth by way of bedazzling and groundbreaking entertainment, from motion pictures to immersive attractions, exhibitions and live events – all under the theme of "embarking on a Bohemian adventure around the world."

Originally scheduled for 2015, the Lovaganza celebrations have been pushed to 2020 to make better use of the emerging new entertainment technologies and incorporate new cutting-edge concepts, to better realize the experience of being immersed in the different cultures in the world. With locations in America, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, Asia and Oceania, the four month celebration will culminate in an unprecedented Hands Across the World ceremony.

The schedule preceding 2020 includes a Traveling Show, set to hit the roads in 2017 and which will promote the 2020 celebrations, the mission and goals attached to it, in addition to presenting a sample of Lovaganza's cinematic glasses-free 3D immersive experience around the world. This will be followed by the release of three major motion pictures ramping up to 2020, to be presented in the Lovaganza traveling pavilions via the new glassless 3D technology, as well as in standard 3D and 2D theaters. Preliminary footage for the film trilogy has already begun shooting in many countries, including France, Spain and the United States, and will resume shooting soon in Africa, India and the rest of the world.

What's more, this film trilogy will be presented during the Lovaganza traveling venues on groundbreaking Immerscope screens, creating a never-before-seen immersive cinematic experience reminiscent of the nostalgia exuded by the old CINERAMAscreens – but exhibiting the leading edge exhibition technology of today and the future.
