Tribute to American Movies: Manhattan Symphonie returns to Milford Theatre

Posted

MILFORD, PA — The Manhattan Symphonie ensemble is returning to the Milford Theatre at 7:30 p.m. on September 13. The concert is presented by Kindred Spirits Arts Programs.

Led by founder and conductor Gregory Singer, the symphony will present a “Tribute to American Movies.” The program will include grand Hollywood theme music from “Superman,” “On the Waterfront,” “Titanic,” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” It will also include a few pieces you might not expect in a program of Hollywood music.

“We must thank not only the composers who worked in Hollywood but also the many movie directors who use classical music or have made successful movies about composers, such as Amadeus,” said Kindred Spirits artistic director Yosif Feigelson. “For our ‘thank-you,’ the concert will start with a few movements from Beethoven’s symphonies No. 6 (“The Pastoral”), which inspired the wonderful centaur episode in Disney’s ‘Fantasia’ and No. 7, used so well in ‘The King’s Speech.’”

Tickets cost $20 at the box office or $15 when purchased in advance at www.kindredspiritsarts.org or Books and Prints at Pear Alley, 220 Broad St. Children under 15 are admitted free.
