This concert, “The Music of Film,” will feature music made famous by great movies. 

The Jazz Band will open the program and will play selections including big band arrangements of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” and “My Favorite Things.” 

The Sewanee Symphony Orchestra will present selections from “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone,” and “Schindler’s List.” Selections from “Schindler’s List” by composer John Williams will feature violinist Katherine Lehman.
