If you want to hear a live performance of the soundtrack of Kurosawa's Ran, there's a "film concert" by the Young Musicians Foundation Orchestra conducted by Japanese female conductor Tomomi Nishimoto during a condensed screening of Ran. It's at the Beverly Hills Hotel on March 23, 2009 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Looks like they're launching the Anaheim University Akira Kurosawa School of Film and I read that Spielberg and Scorsese are taking part in a Kurosawa tribute http://www.anaheim.edu/gala
