Naptown Philharmonic Orchestra: The Magic of Cinema
Featuring our Young Artists Competition winners and cinematic favorites. The music of the movies!
The Magic of Cinema – Sunday, April 18, 2026
Dr. Anna Binneweg presents the magic of the music of the movies and the incredible talents of your, up-and-coming musicians for an unforgettable evening that will have you humming along.
The three winners of the Naptown Philharmonic Orchestra’s Young Artists Concerto Competition will perform as solosits with the orchestra. You will be amazed at the talent of these high school students from all around our state.
Then it’s off to the movies for a performance that demonstrates how cinematic music directors have turned to classical music time and time again to set the tone and tell the visual story. Our soloists are Natalie Conte, soprano, and Jennifer Blades, mezzo-soprano.
