About Home Alone(film_score)
Chris Columbus’s 1990 holiday comedy follows Kevin McCallister, a child left behind as his family travels to Paris, who turns a suburban house into a barricade when two burglars arrive. In New York, the story returns as a film-with-live-score event at David Geffen Hall and Kings Theatre, with conductor Constantine Kitsopoulos, the New York Philharmonic, and the Brooklyn Youth Chorus under Dianne Berkun Menaker. John Williams’s music, heard in full, reframes slapstick as carefully timed orchestral writing. The film’s enduring place in seasonal culture is evident, even without a singular NYC premiere milestone to cite.
