Silver Screen Favorites to be Performed by Kamuela Orchestra
Rewritten Article:
Grab your popcorn, folks! The Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra is serving up a cinematic feast with "The POPS!" concert, taking place at 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 4, at the Kahilu Theatre.
This symphonic spectacular brings the drama and enchantment of iconic film scores to life, transporting you to worlds of love, adventure, and excitement. The performance is perfectly timed with "May the Fourth" - a charming wink to Star Wars fans.
The program takes you on a rollercoaster ride through a variety of movie magic, from sweeping romances that make your heart melt to epic adventures that leave you on the edge of your seat. You'll journey through mythical realms, embark on heroic quests, and bask in the soundtracks that have become part of our collective memory.
Artistic Director Brian Dollinger shared in a press release, "When people think of orchestral pops, one name comes to mind - John Williams. But he's not the only composer to craft unforgettable scores. This concert celebrates those composers and the movies that brought their work to life – along with some of Williams' best-loved pieces."
Get ready to hear selections by John Williams, Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi, Calvin Custer, and other masterful composers whose work will leave you spellbound.
Dollinger emphasizes the emotional power of music in film and the exhilaration of hearing these iconic compositions performed live. "Music adds the emotional depth to what we see on the big screen," he said. "Without it, we aren't as awestruck when we first see a Brachiosaurus, our hearts don't race as much watching a bicycle fly across the moon, and we don't cheer as loudly when a space station is destroyed. Great film music is lush, inspiring, and full of imagination – it's not just for classical music stalwarts."
If you're new to orchestral music, "The POPS!" is the perfect introduction. Dollinger said, "This is the perfect way to introduce yourself – or your family – to live symphonic music. Young and old will enjoy this year's program. I think many first-time concertgoers will be surprised by how much they fall in love with orchestral music after hearing it performed in this way."
Tickets for the event range from $76 to $24 and can be purchased online, by phone, or in person. The Kamuela Philharmonic Orchestra Society, a nonprofit dedicated to bringing high-quality orchestral music to audiences on Hawaii Island, presents the concert.
