The Atlanta Symphony Orchestra will present Disney’s Hocus Pocus in Concert Live to Film with John Debney’s score performed live by the orchestra along to the film. The concert will be led by conductor Stuart Chafetz.
Emmy Award®-winning and GRAMMY®-nominated composer John Debney created the score for Disney’s Halloween comedy film, Hocus Pocus.
Accidentally conjured on Halloween night in modern-day Salem, three seventeenth-century witches known as the Sanderson sisters, plot to steal the life essence from the town’s children to ensure their own eternal life. The diabolical sisters are comically outwitted by three prankster kids and aided by Thackery Binx, a boy transformed into a cat centuries earlier for interfering with the witches. Released on July 16, 1993, and directed by Kenny Ortega, the spooky comedy stars Bette Midler (Winifred), Sarah Jessica Parker (Sarah), Kathy Najimy (Mary), Omri Katz (Max), Thora Birch (Dani), and Vinessa Shaw (Allison).
