A Cinematic Symphony
Get ready for an evening where the magic of the movies meets the grandeur of live orchestral performance at “A Night at the Movies” on October 5th and 6th, 2024, at the Placer High School Theater in Auburn. This isn’t just a concert; it’s a journey through some of the most iconic film scores ever composed, brought to life by the talented hands of Ryan Murray and his orchestra, with special guest Konstantin Soukhovetski on piano.
From the epic “Star Wars Main Title” to the heart-wrenching “Adagio for Strings” by Samuel Barber, the program is a rollercoaster of emotions and memories. But the highlight for many will be Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue,” celebrating its centennial, performed with all the flair and passion it deserves. And for a touch of the contemporary, Soukhovetski will perform a movement from his own symphony, “Once Upon a Spring.”
What sets this concert apart? The tradition of dressing up! The orchestra, Maestro Murray, and you are all invited to come in costume, turning the event into a festive parade of characters from your favorite films. Imagine walking across the stage during intermission, the orchestra playing, as you show off your best movie-inspired attire. It’s not just about listening; it’s about participating in the spectacle.
