Go to the symphony…to watch a movie? Starting Friday night, the Eugene Symphony will perform the score to "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone," while the movie plays above them.
Francesco Lecce-Chong is Music Director and Conductor of the Symphony, and a self-proclaimed Star Wars fanatic. He says part of this is due to the genius of John Williams, the composer who also wrote the music for the Harry Potter films.
