News from the Noteworthy from Catskill Symphony Orchestra
Conductors Compete at 'A Night at the Movies'
When you think of Superman, what immediately comes to mind? For many of us, it is those powerful brass notes from John Williams’ unforgettable score. That is the thing about great film music—it becomes inseparable from the characters and stories we love, and sometimes the soundtrack in our own thoughts. Some days, we require the strength of the Man of Steel!
The Catskill Symphony Orchestra is tapping into this familiar connection as we wrap up our 2024-2025 season with “A Night at the Movies” on May 10 at Foothills PAC in Oneonta. The final program features Williams’ “Superman Suite” alongside numerous other beloved film scores that have become part of our shared cultural experience—think Star Wars, Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, The Cowboys, and more.
Film music might be your main connection to orchestral performances, or maybe you are a longtime symphony enthusiast—either way, there is something magical about hearing these iconic pieces performed live by talented musicians right here in our community, often our friends, teachers, and neighbors.
