Last weekend I enjoyed the great pleasure of attending the McCallum Orchestra’s event, Music in the Park. Held in the Mueller neighborhood’s Lake Park Amphitheater, the Orchestra played musical arrangements from favorite movies.
The student musicians all wore blinking lights while they performed on the night-time stage, and scenes from each film score that they played would appear on the movie screen behind them. And at the end, how could I miss the 1980’s classic “Back to the Future” that was shown following the concert?
This was a free, family friendly event, encouraging donations to assist with orchestra expenses. It was the second of a series. I definitely recommend attending their next performance!
Here’s a short video clip featuring an orchestral version from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack:
Be sure to catch the McCallum Orchestra’s next big event on February 4 at 7:00 pm at the new McCallum Theatre.
The Beatles Classically will feature Austin’s favorite cover band The Eggmen accompanied by the McCallum Orchestra. Brilliant!
