Home Alone – in Concert (public dress rehearsal for school classes)

Home Alone – in Concert (public dress rehearsal for school classes) invites audiences to relive the merry mischief of the 1990 holiday classic with a dazzling live score. Under the masterful baton of conductor Kevin Griffiths, the City Light Symphony Orchestra and City Light Vocal Ensemble bring John Williams’ iconic music to life at the KKL Luzern in a pre‑Christmas matinée. From the sparkling celesta and glockenspiel that set the scene of a storm‑free holiday, through the warm woodwinds that echo Kevin’s daring plans, to the soaring chorus of “Somewhere in My Memory” and “Stars of Bethlehem” (lyrics by Leslie Bricusse), this performance delivers irresistible festive magic. The concert follows the beloved 8‑year‑old hero, Kevin McCallister (Macaulay Culkin), as he is accidentally left behind in Chicago while his family heads to Paris. Even as he embraces the excitement of a quiet home, he must confront the notorious Wet Bandits—Harry (Joe Pesci) and Marv (Daniel Stern)—and protect his family’s treasures. With more than a hundred musicians and the vibrant choir, the City Light Orchestra turns the film’s action into a memorable musical adventure that sparks laughter and holiday spirit for the whole family. Celebrate the season with this family‑friendly matinée that fuses cinematic excitement with live concert grandeur—details & tickets available for this Christmas event at the KKL Luzern. © 1990 Twentieth Century Fox.
