Graphic used to promote the South Bend Symphony Orchestra’s “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert” event.
In Monday’s (11/4) Observer (Indiana), Claire Watson writes, “I am more than willing to admit that I am a huge Harry Potter fan. (I am a Hufflepuff in case anyone was wondering.) I have read all of the books at least four or five times and seen the movies more times than I can count…. I had the opportunity to experience the South Bend Symphony Orchestra’s ‘Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert’ … in which they performed the original score composed by John Williams. I have seen all of the movies and memorized the music, so I knew when the instruments were supposed to come in, and I can say this with confidence: The symphony did not disappoint…. It was so amazing to me to see all of these super talented musicians live in concert under the direction of guest conductor Ron Spigelman as the movie played, the symphony filling in the role of the soundtrack…. One of the things that I enjoyed most was listening to the different timbres and how they blended together perfectly. Listening to the percussion mix with the brass and wind instruments, it was (no pun intended) music to my ears.”
