The Elgin Symphony Orchestra will be presenting “The Magic of Hollywood,” a concert full of classic Hollywood movie scores, this weekend at The Hemmens Cultural Centre in Elgin.
The performances, conducted by ESO Musical Director Chad Goodman, will feature musical moments from Hollywood’s biggest movies – E.T., Star Wars, Cinema Paradiso, the Harry Potter series, and more.
The 2023/24 season marks Goodman’s inaugural season as Music Director of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra—only the fifth leader in the orchestra’s prestigious seven-decade history. He has received widespread praise for thrilling conducting that combines “precision, agility and fervor” (N. Stanić Kovačevic, South Florida Classical Review) and for displaying the “pitch perfect combination of abandon and subtlety” (L. Budman, South Florida Classical Review).
Showtimes are Saturday, February 3, at 7:30pm and Sunday, February 4, at 2:30pm.
Tickets start at $20 and can be purchased here.
The Hemmens Cultural Centre is located at 45 Symphony Way in Elgin.
