The Big Three

THE BALTIMORE SUN

CELLULOID SYMPHONY

Fans of film know the importance of a musical score. Grand and powerful, solemn and melancholy or any of the tuneful shades in between, music complements and enhances a movie. Saturday, the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra tips its hat to the music of the big screen at its latest SummerFest concert. The BSO, along with conductor Andrew Constantine, presents "Music of the Silver Screen," a concert of theme songs, overtures, suites and other scores from a number of blockbuster films, including Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone, Star Wars and Pirates of the Caribbean. A fireworks show will round out the evening.

....................

The concert begins at 8 p.m. Saturday at Oregon Ridge Park, 13401 Beaver Dam Road, Cockeysville. Rain date Sunday. Tickets $7-$17. Call 410-783-8000 or baltimoresymphony.org.
