Warner Bros. has been very good to conductor George Daugherty. Since he and David Ka Lik Wong created the hit concert program Bugs Bunny on Broadway in 1990 (which Daugherty conducted at Blossom with the Warner Brothers Symphony Orchestra), he's been leading programs of cartoon music to accompany screenings of the animated shorts with orchestras around the world, including the Cleveland Orchestra last season at Severance Hall. This weekend at Blossom he leads the Blossom Festival Orchestra in a celebration of the studio's other output: the world premiere of the program Celebrating Warner Bros. Studios 85th Anniversary. It includes music performed with iconic scenes from classic films like Casablanca, 42nd Street, A Star Is Born and Yankee Doodle Dandy, as well as the more recent Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. If firsts are your thing, it's worth noting that the Harry Potter scenes have never before been screened with live symphonic accompaniment. Performances are at 8:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday, but come early for pre-concert activities, including a costume contest (dress as your favorite Warner Bros. movie character) and a display of movie posters from throughout WB's history. Blossom Music Center is at 1145 W. Steels Corners Rd., Cuyahoga Falls. Tickets: $20-80. Kids ages 6-12 are half the adult price; on the lawn, kids under 5 get in free. Call 216.231.1111.
