Charlotte Blake Alston

Speaker

Get out those cat ears and superhero costumes and celebrate Halloween with this sensory friendly performance!  

The performance kicks off with an excerpt from Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor that will make you feel like you're stepping into a giant, haunted castle. And just when you think it couldn’t get any more fun, who you gonna call? Ghostbusters! Bernstein’s upbeat and funky suite will have everyone grooving along as ghosts get busted left and right. To wrap it all up in magical style, we’ll take you to Hogwarts with John Williams’ “Harry’s Wondrous World” from Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. And that is just a taste of the program we have in store!  

This is an unforgettable concert experience that’s going to bring all the thrills and chills.
