(Netherlands) 
Symphony of Magic – The Music of Harry Potter Live
International Symphony Orchestra from Lviv conducted by Raymond Janssen - Musis


Program Info:
How do you interpret the musical story of friendship, adventure and love in an exciting wizarding world? What does magic sound like? Leave that to award-winning composers like John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicholas Hooper and Alexandre Desplat. In October, the best music from all the Harry Potter films returns to Amsterdam and Arnhem!

The soundtracks of all eight Harry Potter films are ideal for performance in a large orchestral setting. For this purpose, conductor Raymond Janssen is once again working with The International Symphony Orchestra from Lviv and the National Choir of Ukraine 'Dumka'.

This concert is enchanting from the very first note. Hedwig's Theme , the famous twinkling melody that starts almost every Harry Potter film, immediately immerses you in his magical adventures.
