Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s Silver Screen Pops

Princeton Symphony Orchestra’s Silver Screen Pops

by 

The shrieking violins of “Psycho.” The menacing double-basses of “Jaws.” Both exemplify the lingering power of exceptionally well-suited music and visuals.

Both will be represented on a concert of the Princeton Symphony Orchestra, which will take place at Princeton University’s Richardson Audition tomorrow night at 8:00. The orchestra’s annual “Saturday Evening POPS!” is a sequel of sorts to last year’s “Silver Screen Salute.”

The program will include music from classic films like “Ben-Hur” and “Star Wars,” with songs from more recent favorites like “Titanic” and “Frozen.”

Lucas Richman will conduct. Richman has worked in films for nearly a quarter century. He’ll be joined by Broadway vocalist Jessica Hendy for some classic love songs by George Gershwin and Marvin Hamlisch.
