What are your favorite songs or instrumental pieces from films and television shows?

On Oct. 26, the San Bernardino Symphony Orchestra will present “Movies with the Maestro,” a program featuring some of Maestro Anthony Parnther’s favorite film and television music.

That music will include some of the scores the maestro has personally led on the session stages of Hollywood.

“When I’m not here in San Bernardino with our world-class orchestra,” Maestro Parnther said, “I have the distinct pleasure of leading the Hollywood Studio Symphony on many of the most beloved film and television franchises on the planet. This annual concert has quickly become a San Bernardino Symphony staple and it is great to see so many people from throughout the region excited to experience the incredible music of American television and cinema!”

The repertoire will include selections from Aladdin, Hocus Pocus, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, Chariots of Fire, Ghostbusters, Transformers, The X Files, The Body Guard and more. Patrons are encouraged to get into the spirit by dressing as their favorite movie star or bringing their light sabers to conduct along with the maestro when selections from Star Wars are performed. In addition, this year the symphony has added a special trick-or-treat time for all the young ones in attendance.

“This is absolutely one of the most fun and exciting concerts of the year!” said Donna Marie Minano, president of the symphony’s board of directors. “I encourage everyone to get tickets while they last and join us for the liveliest party in town!”

Tickets are available at $20 to $100 per seat and may be securely purchased online at www.sanbernardinosymphony.org or by telephone at (909) 381-5388, Monday through Friday between the hours of 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. Seats for children and students with ID are just $15 and may be obtained with the purchase of an adult seat.

“Movies with the Maestro” will take place at the California Theatre for the Performing Arts.
