Tunes from the Toons

Relive the magic of animation as the orchestra brings to life the unforgettable scores that have accompanied generations of beloved characters. “​​We are excited to present our concert Tunes from the Toons looking at the history of how music enhanced animation from the earliest days of Steamboat Willie, Donald Duck, and Tom and Jerry all the way to the modern digital animation of Beauty and the Beast and The Incredibles,” Gary Liebst, Director, said.
