A story of Kilar’s music for ‘Dracula’ (EN) - SATC #144

And a love letter to film music.
On November 9, 2024, the Chicago Philharmonic performed the U.S. premiere of Bram Stoker’s 'Dracula in Concert' with Polish master composer Wojciech Kilar’s chillingly thrilling score.
The famous 1992 Francis Ford Coppola movie was presented on a 50-foot screen above 120 musicians - full orchestra, Chicago Chamber Choir, soloists Cheryl Wilson, Victoria Schemenauer and Elena Hensel under the baton of Diego Navarro.
Let me take you back to that exciting weekend in Chicago.
