After Lord of the Rings, The Matrix and even Aliens, John Williams' score to the first Harry Potter-film will get the live symphony-treatment. The premier of it will be in my hometown Rotterdam on november 2, 3 and 4 of this year. Of course, this is amazing news. I love these live performances; they have the film scores shine as the should.

It was a lot of fun and the orchestra was on point the entire time.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2016 - 8:53 AM     By:   Randy Watson   (Member) Great news!

Immediately bought tickets for me and my girlfriend.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2016 - 9:24 AM     By:   Jason LeBlanc   (Member) Rotterdam in November will certainly not be the premiere; Harry Potter Live has been running for months already. They were announced by Variety in February http://variety.com/2016/film/news/harry-potter-concert-series-warner-bros-cineconcerts-1201700029/ On JWFan there's some discussion of a perfomance in Philadelphia from June if you're interested http://www.jwfan.com/forums/index.php?/topic/26122-harry-potter-live-to-projection-concerts/&page=5 There's a website setup where you can see all the upcoming tour dates for all the HP films http://harrypotterinconcert.com/ They do these concerts for all kinds of movies http://filmconcertslive.com/ http://www.cineconcerts.com/ Etc This site seems to aggregate all concert info, and you can even search by film title or location http://moviesinconcert.nl/    Posted:   Aug 31, 2016 - 11:06 AM     By:   Matt B   (Member) This was performed earlier this Summer at the Hollywood Bowl, with David Newman conducting, which might have been the North American premiere. It was a lot of fun and the orchestra was on point the entire time. I believe it was Justin Freer who conducted the concert that evening, not David Newman. But that Newman does so many of these things, it's an understandable mistake.    Posted:   Aug 31, 2016 - 1:29 PM     By:   Tom Servo   (Member) This was performed earlier this Summer at the Hollywood Bowl, with David Newman conducting, which might have been the North American premiere.

Good point, my mistake on that one!    Posted:   Sep 1, 2016 - 7:29 AM     By:   johnbijl   (Member) It's indeed the European premiere. Nevertheless, I'm excited to be there.    Posted:   Sep 1, 2016 - 8:32 AM     By:   Jason LeBlanc   (Member) I'm jealous of anyone who gets to go; So far, it hasn't come anywhere near New England.    Posted:   Sep 2, 2016 - 2:00 AM     By:   Randy Watson   (Member) Hopefully Jurassic Park, ID4, Aliens and Batman will also find their way to Rotterdam.    Posted:   Sep 2, 2016 - 3:31 AM     By:   Gunnar   (Member) Great news indeed - I will try to catch this next February in Stuttgart. As these concerts are performed by different orchestras, it can be hit and miss, but I am willing to give it a try. Has anyone heard the Pilsen Philharmonic Orchestra in concert?    Posted:   Nov 2, 2016 - 1:01 PM     By:   johnbijl   (Member) Only minutes now. Woot!

What can I say? The orchestra was great, very, very precise in their performance (only at the very end during the credits on of the sections strayed away a little bit). Especially the brass sections were performing without any faults, even through the highly complex and demanding finale. The film's soundtrack was mixed at a good level, and the film was also subtitled so that there was no reason to turn up the soundtrack during the louder sequences. Conductor John Jesensky kept the orchestra right on time all the time, which is no small feat considering the length of many of the pieces. Hats off to that, and the standing ovations at the end were greatly deserved by all of them. Seeing such a monumental score performed live to picture was quite an experience. Still, it also demonstrated the benefits of a film music concert consisting of film music suites and without any accompaniment by a projected film. There's a fair bit of underscore in Harry Potter (which is one of my favorite compositions of film music, but still...), and a more condensed presentation of the music might be even more enjoyable purely on musical terms. Nevertheless, as a performance of film music to picture, this was an impressive and exhilarating experience.     General Discussion: Harry Potter with live symphony orchestra!    < 1  >   Go to page:  1   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1
