Ann Arbor Symphony Celebrates Harry Potter

Now in their 93rd season, the Ann Arbor Symphony Orchestra (A2SO) will perform Music from Harry Potter in the incredible acoustic chamber that is Hill Auditorium at 8 p.m., October 29.

They will play familiar themes from composer John Williams and more to capture the magic of Harry Potter through the music that brought the movies to life. The Harry Potter concert is a family-favorite concert tradition. Hill Auditorium will fill with the sounds of Hogwarts and the wizarding world as the A2SO performs iconic scores, from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone through all eight films in the beloved series.

The A2SO requires all attendees to wear a face mask that covers the nose and mouth at all times when inside the venue and present a complete, valid COVID-19 vaccination card or proof of a negative PCR test taken within 72 hours of the concert’s start at the door upon arrival. Empty seats will be left between household groups and food and beverage services have been suspended.

Location: 825 N. University Ave., Ann Arbor. For tickets, call 734-994-4801 or visit a2so.com.
