For school classes 5th/6th/7th grade, 8th/9th/10th grade: Ready for the movies – film music with the Leipzig Symphony Orchestra

The Leipzig Symphony Orchestra invites students in grades 5‑10 to a cinematic journey that celebrates the unforgettable music of our favorite films. Hear how the legendary John Williams, a master of the leitmotif technique invented by 19‑century composer Richard Wagner, turns simple themes into powerful storytelling devices. This concert goes beyond the screen, breaking down key motifs from blockbuster soundtracks like *Pirates of the Caribbean*, *How to Train Your Dragon*, and *Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them*. The orchestra demonstrates how individual instruments and creative percussion can transform these motifs into vivid soundscapes, revealing the magic behind each score. Alongside Williams’ work, the program also features music by Klaus Badelt, John Powell, James Newton Howard, and other celebrated film composers. Whether you’re a movie buff or a music lover, this live performance promises excitement, insight, and a deeper appreciation for the art of film music. **Performances:** 2 **Details & tickets**
