” The period drama, set before the French Revolution, follows the life of composer Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges, also known as Black Mozart. The Searchlight Pictures film also stars Samara Weaving, Lucy Boynton, Ronkẹ Adékoluẹjo, Marton Csokas, Alex Fitzalan and Minnie Driver.Harrison Jr. said despite being raised in a musical family he didn’t know about Chevalier. “I had no clue who he was, but he was pretty bold, and I was blown away by him,” he says.
Harrison Jr. was filming Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” in Australia when he learned he got the part in director Stephen Williams’ film. His “Elvis” co-star Austin Butler gave him a hug upon learning the news. “Austin said, ‘Oh, you’ve got a lot of work to do.’ So, I started my violin training there,” says Harrison Jr.
After spending a few months with his father, Harrison Jr. returned to LA where he also got a violin teacher. And once he got to the set in Prague where the film was shot, he spent all day in rehearsals.
