Jurassic Park in Concert

Jurassic Park in Concert
Colorado Symphony
Boettcher Concert Hall
Denver, CO
May 3-4, 2018


The Colorado Symphony has brought in many new audience members with their well publicized movie series. This evening, they presented the music of Jurassic Park. The movie started immediately after conductor Brett Mitchell stepped onstage. The film was presented with subtitles and it was surprising to see how often there was no music at all.

John William’s score for Jurassic Park is one of his most recognizable and hearing it live added an emphasis on the music. It was disappointing that the sound effects were not also li e p that would have made the dinosaurs feel even closer!

The Movies at the Symphony is an excellent series to bring live music to an audience that may not otherwise be interested.
