It’s all treats, no tricks inside Southam Hall!
From an excerpt from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice to the theme from Ghostbusters and other hair-raising tunes, this concert is sure to cast a spell on you this Halloween. Principal Youth Conductor and Community Ambassador Daniel Bartholomew-Poyser, the NAC Orchestra, and special guests bring spooky orchestral favourites to life in a fang-tastic performance.
Like our musicians, come decked out in your best costume—but be sure to park your broom at the door!
We hope you will enjoy the giant images on the NACOtron screen as they capture and magnify the magic of these fabulous concerts!
