Spielberg in Concert<br />
The world-famous Philharmonia<br />
Orchestra, resident orchestra<br />
at De Montfort Hall, returns to<br />
Leicester this November with an<br />
evening dedicated to director<br />
Steven Spielberg. The concert<br />
features music from Spielberg’s<br />
long-time collaborator John<br />
Williams, including the scores<br />
to Jaws, E.T., Jurassic Park and<br />
Indiana Jones, as well as music<br />
from Alan Silvestri’s Back to the<br />
Future among many more.<br />
This concert is great for all ages<br />
to enjoy, and perfect for those<br />
who would like to experience<br />
the thrill of a live orchestra<br />
playing iconic film soundtracks<br />
rather than classical music. On<br />
the night the orchestra will be<br />
conducted by Anthony Weeden,<br />
renowned for his award-winning<br />
work in the film industry, who<br />
has orchestrated and conducted<br />
scores to The Theory of<br />
Everything, Sicario and Arrival.<br />
Tickets start at £13.50 and there<br />
are £6 tickets available for children<br />
and students.<br />

warming. The four dancing scientists<br />
manoeuvre through a comical, colourful<br />
world filled with lab tables, fart jars,<br />
cows and test tubes, bringing dance and<br />
science together in a mesmerising ball<br />
of fun (and smells!)<br />

The Twits<br />
Roald Dahl created some truly revolting<br />
characters in his time but surely few can<br />

Mrs Twit. This adaptation by David Wood<br />

slapstick and audience participation.<br />
Come and witness these truly ghastly,<br />
infamous book characters come to life<br />
in this fun and interactive production<br />
featuring original songs, bird pies and<br />
balloons…!<br />
