For 25 years, the »Harry Potter« films have captivated people around the world and across generations. The iconic film music, composed by John Williams, Patrick Doyle, Nicolas Hooper and Alexander Desplat, is a particular contributor to this. Almost everyone can hum along to the famous»‘Hedwig’s Theme«, which is now considered the main melody of the film series – and get goosebumps in the process!

»The Music of Harry Potter - Live in Concert« is a magical evening of a very special kind. It combines the musical highlights of the »Harry Potter« films and the play »Harry Potter and the Cursed Child« to create a unique experience.

Using state-of-the-art technology, the large ensemble of the Cinema Festival Symphonics will take Harry Potter fans on a musical journey through all eight »‘Harry Potter« films. Soloists, choir and orchestra will celebrate the unique sonic force that fully immerses you in the world of magic and, together with elaborate screen animations and visual effects, ensures a rollercoaster of emotions.

Pure goosebumps when »Hedwig’s Theme« transports the audience to Hogwarts or the choir performs »‘Double Trouble«. »The Night Bus« creates an exuberant atmosphere with the speedy ride of the travelling knight. Things get mystical with »Black Lake«, when the audience dives into the Black Lake and the realm of the water people with Harry.

Finally, there is not a dry eye in the house when Hermione disappears from her parents’ lives in »Obliviate« and the whole of Hogwarts bids farewell to its beloved headmaster in »Dumbledore’s Farewell«.
