Kerrville Symphony presents Out of This World Concert on Jan 11
Kerrville’s Symphony of the Hills will present its annual POPS concert Out of This World: Music of the Cosmos on Saturday, January 11, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. at Cailloux Theater, 910 Main, Kerrville, Texas. The event is preceded by a wine reception in the lobby at 6:30 p.m.
The musical program will feature many movie themes that are “thrilling orchestral pieces,” according to Dr. Gene Dowdy, Conductor and Artistic Director.
“The Symphony of the Hills will ring in the New Year with a tremendously energetic and inspiring pops concert featuring music inspired by the cosmos!” Dowdy said. “Some of the most thrilling orchestral music is inspired and influenced by other worlds outside of our own, and even parallel worlds from other dimensions.”
That program includes:
Thus Spake Zarathustra (2001 A Space Odyssey), Richard Strauss
Highlights from Wicked, Stephen Schwartz
The Complete Harry Potter, John Williams
The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King Suite, Howard Leslie Shore
