The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble
- 20:00
- Grote Kerk, Hague
- von €40 bis €60
Immerse yourself in the magical world of music from the beloved fantasy film saga inspired by the novels of J.K. Rowling — an enchanting event for the whole family and an experience not to be missed.
Performed by Mystery Ensemble in the historic Grote Kerk, one of The Hague’s most iconic landmarks in the heart of the city, this programme invites audiences of all ages to rediscover the unforgettable atmosphere of the famous Harry Potter films through their most iconic musical themes, bringing to life the emotion, adventure and magic of the story.
The film’s soundtrack was masterfully composed by John Williams. The composer wrote the music in Los Angeles and at Tanglewood, before it was recorded at Abbey Road and Air Lyndhurst studios in London in September 2001.
The film features many characteristic leitmotifs, most of which returned in the second part of the franchise, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The main composition, Hedwig’s Theme, appears in modified form throughout all the films. The soundtrack was released on CD on 30 October 2001.
On 14 December 2001, the soundtrack was certified gold in Canada, with 50,000 units sold, and in January 2002 in Japan, with 100,000 units sold. In 2002, John Williams was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Original Score, but the award went to Howard Shore for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, music from which can also be heard at our concerts.
The album was a success, peaking at number 48 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Top Soundtracks chart. In the official UK charts, the album reached number 19.
The concert is organised by the creative agency RED EVENTS & Distribution Ltd., known for producing exceptional cultural experiences in historic mansions, on rooftops, in greenhouses, and in some of the most atmospheric venues across Europe, the United Kingdom, Azerbaijan, Georgia, and beyond.
