“The concert celebrates both the musical and storytelling artistry of the Pixar films. Rousing themes and gorgeous melodies are woven in harmony with iconic visuals from the films,” director of the Disney Music Group Jonathan Heely, told Pacific Symphony.
Led by guest conductor Sarah Hicks, the Pacific Symphony will perform scores from the “Toy Story” trilogy, “Brave”, “WALL-E,” “Monsters , Inc.,” Finding Nemo,” and many more. Film clips will be on display through a large screen above the stage.
Pixar Animation Studios has created acclaimed movies and short films since the formation in 1979. According to pacificsymphony.org, Pixar films have collectively won three Academy Awards, 10 Grammys, and multiple Oscar nominations.
Since the premier in July 2012, “Pixar in Concert” has made its way around the world performing in Sydney, Hong Kong, Switzerland, Boston and other various locations throughout the United States.
“The concert also provides an opportunity for many families and children to experience a live symphony for the first time-the move music itself provides and almost universal entry point,” Heely told Pacific Symphony.
Encouraging all ages to attend, with the purchase of an adult ticket, tickets for children under the age of 14 are offered at half price in most sections of the amphitheater.
