Black Panther Live with Orchestra
In 2018, Marvel Studios’ Black Panther quickly became a global sensation and cultural phenomenon, showing a new dimension of what superhero films could be. Rolling Stone raved, “The film lights up the screen with a full-throttle blast of action and fun. That’s to be expected. But what sneaks up and floors you is the film’s racial conscience and profound, astonishing beauty.”
Now you can relive the excitement of T’Challa becoming king and battling Killmonger while the MSO performs Ludwig Göransson’s Oscar® and Grammy®-winning score live to picture.
Uptown Nights
Inspired by Harlem’s famed musical hot spots like The Cotton Club and The Savoy, this swingin’ performance of musical sensations focuses on Harlem’s heyday when Duke Ellington’s orchestra was the house band, and Cab Calloway, Ella Fitzgerald, and Ethel Waters showcased the classics! Thrill to the vocals of Carmen Bradford and the fancy footwork of tap dancer Leo Manzari as they share the stage with your MSO.
