Beyond the Screen with Jakob Stegelmann

Beyond the Screen with Jakob Stegelmann invites fans into a breathtaking, symphonic celebration of the music that has shaped our imaginations. In a spell‑binding collaboration with the Aarhus Symphony Orchestra, renowned geek‑culture narrator Jakob Stegelmann guides listeners through a montage of epic film themes—each one soaring with the grandeur of a full orchestra. From the heroic swells of John Williams’s “Superman” and “Indiana Jones” to the adrenaline‑pumping riffs of Brian May and Maurice Jarre’s “Mad Max,” the program pays homage to the sounds that echoed through our childhoods. Classic motifs from John Du Prez’s “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,” Ryan Elder’s “Rick and Morty,” and Elmer Bernstein/Ray Parker Jr.’s “Ghostbusters” are woven together with cinematic excerpts from Richard Wagner, Johann Strauss, and Edvard Grieg, creating a powerful tapestry of sound. This first concert in the new “Beyond the Screen” series offers pure, unfiltered enjoyment of cinematic tones—no screens, no distractions—just the full force of orchestral power meeting the love of the fantastic. Whether you’re a devoted fan of the classics or discovering hero themes for the first time, this concert delivers goose‑bumps, recognition, and pure enthusiasm, bringing the heroic stories that live in our hearts to full life.
