Sonore Quartet: A Night at the Movies
March 29, 2025.
6:00 PM -7:00 PM concert followed by social hour
Step into a world of adventure, romance, and magic as we take you on a journey through some of the most unforgettable film and stage melodies. Tonight, the music tells the story—you simply have to listen closely to uncover its origins.
Will you feel the rush of the open sea as a pirate hoists the black flag? Can you hear the echoes of an impossible mission or the quiet drift of a feather on the wind? Perhaps you’ll sense the weight of a love that defies fate, the pulse of a hero rising to greatness, or the mystery of a world beyond the Shire.
From enchanted castles to gladiator arenas, from thrilling heists to heart-stopping romance, the music will guide you through a landscape of cinema and theatrical wonder. Some themes may be instantly recognizable, while others may surprise you—so keep your ears open, follow the clues, and see how many hidden gems you can find!
Let the adventure begin!
