The Harry Potter Film Concert Series returns to E.J. Thomas Hall with Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert. At 1 and 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, April 21, the Akron Symphony Orchestra will perform John Williams’ score live.

During the orchestra’s performance, the film, the second in the Harry Potter series, will screen in high-definition on a 40-foot screen. Film concert series creator and producer Justin Freer will conduct.

“The Harry Potter film series continues to be a once-in-a-lifetime cultural phenomenon that delights millions of fans around the world,” says Freer in a press release announcing the event. “It is with great pleasure that we introduced for the first time ever an opportunity to experience the award-winning music scores played live by a symphony orchestra, all while the beloved film is simultaneously projected onto the big screen. This will be another unforgettable event.”

Tickets start at $45.
