Home Alone In Concert

At David Geffen Hall, *Home Alone In Concert* presents John Williams’s score performed live by the New York Philharmonic under conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos, with the Brooklyn Youth Chorus led by Dianne Berkun Menaker. The film runs as the orchestra supplies the music in real time, turning a familiar holiday comedy into a close study of timing and orchestral color. New York has long been a proving ground for film music in the concert hall, and this program continues that local tradition. Heard this way, Williams’s writing reads less like background and more like structure.
