100 Years of Warner Bros. at Scottish Rite Cathedral
This year, Warner Bros. is celebrating 100 years in the film industry. As one of the “Big Five”, the studio has produced countless hits that are still popular today. More modern releases such as A Star is Born(2018) and Wonder Woman have proved to be just as successful. Relive some of your favorite action-packed scenes and tear-jerking moments while listening to classical performances from the likes of The Wizard of Oz, Casablanca, Singin’ in the Rain, and many more!
The Best of Hans Zimmer at Fountain Square Theatre
Hans Zimmer is a name that needs no introduction. If you don’t know his name, you certainly are familiar with his music. You would have heard it while solving mysteries along with Sherlock Holmes or watching Simba’s turbulent life play out in The Lion King. Having scored over 150 films, Zimmer has revolutionized the approach to modern-day film scoring. Listen to his greatest works come to life, including music from Inception and Dunkirk, at this stunning, candlelit concert.
The Best of Joe Hisaishi
The Cyrus Place will get a musical glow this summer, as an enchanting tribute to perhaps THE biggest name in anime soundtrack history, Joe Hisaishi. He’s known for blending classical and modern techniques, but most importantly he’s a master of reflecting what the characters are going through, making audiences more empathic of their journey.
You can expect to hear songs from some of your favourite anime films. This includes his very first collaboration with Hayao Miyazaki, 1984’s Nausicaa Valley of the Wind, and Studio Ghibli’s most famous production, Spirited Away.
Invite your friends or family to an unforgettable evening bathed in the glow of candlelight and enchanted by the magic of cinema. You will leave the performance having gained a new perspective on some of your favorite tv shows and films.
Candlelight concerts have been met by countless 5-star reviews, and guests have called it “a creative, enchanting, and new concert experience.”
Note: For the safety of our audience, all of the candlelight will be provided through flameless candles.
