Classical Movie Music

This concert is made possible through the generous support of Cynthia A. Sinclair in loving memory of Robert Allan Sinclair and Marilyn J. Woloohojian.

Experience the emotional depth of John Williams’ haunting “Schindler’s List” and the nostalgic charm of “E.T.,” alongside the adventurous spirit of “Indiana Jones.” Journey through the realms of fantasy with enchanting selections from “Harry Potter,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “The Lion King,” and “Lord of the Rings,” as the magic of film meets the beauty of chamber music. Relive the magic of blockbuster classics performed by our resident Festival Artists at the beloved Blithewold Mansion―the perfect summer outing for classical music lovers and film buffs alike.
