Pacific Symphony Celebrates the Much-Loved Holiday with the Magic of Wizardly Music and Everyone's Favorite Spectacled Hero and Friends!

Hop on the Hogwarts Express! Young Witches, Wizards and Muggles unite as they find themselves transported to the fantastical world of Harry Potter, when Pacific Symphony's Family Musical Mornings series returns just in time for Halloween. Featuring the beloved music of John Williams and more, this concert event is the perfect way to get a jump on Halloween (all are invited to come in costume!).

Conjuring up this magical world are selections from the movie, "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"-including "Hedwig's Theme," "Harry's Wondrous World" and "Nimbus 2000"-and yet more other-worldly music. Hosting the 45-minute musical extravaganza designed especially for kids 5-11 is the wondrous wizard, Assistant Conductor Roger Kalia, who, along with actors and a magician, takes the audience on an enchanting journey filled with symphonic sorcery.

"The Magic and Music of Harry Potter" takes place on Saturday, Oct. 22, at 10 a.m. and 11:30 a.m., in the Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. Come early or stay late and join in the fun at the interactive Musical Carnival, where kids can test drive a musical instrument, meet the performers and enjoy musical arts and crafts activities themed to the morning's concert.

Activities begin at 9 a.m. for 10 a.m. concertgoers and 12:15 p.m. for 11:30 a.m. concertgoers. Family Musical Mornings season-ticket packages are $60-$160; single tickets are $15-$40. For more information or to purchase tickets call (714) 755-5799 or visit www.PacificSymphony.org.
