“Spooky Symphony,” a ghoulishly wonderful repertoire performed by the Alhambra Orchestra and Greater Miami Youth Symphony, is a free family Halloween concert featuring music from the show Phantom of the Opera; the movie Pirates of the Caribbean and the video game Uncharted, plus eerie classics La Forza del Destino overture by Verdi and Pictures at an Exhibition by Mussorgsky.
Additional concert highlights include a multimedia presentation, and audience members and musicians dressed in their Halloween costume best to enhance the supernatural experience.
The Alhambra Orchestra and Greater Miami Youth Symphony, conducted by Daniel Andai and Huifang Chen, are presented by The Children’s Trust and Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County as part of the center’s free Family Fest series.
