About Encanto(film_score)
Disney’s *Encanto* is presented here as a film score program, pairing the movie’s Colombian family story with its concert-hall architecture. The plot follows Mirabel Madrigal, the one relative without a supernatural gift, as she traces a crisis in the household’s inherited power back through memory, duty, and fracture. At David Geffen Hall, conductor Nicholas Hersh leads the New York Philharmonic with featured performer Lin-Manuel Miranda’s songs set alongside Germaine Franco’s orchestral writing, which treats family conflict as rhythm and color. In New York, where Latinx audiences and institutions shape mainstream culture, the score’s blend of Broadway lyric craft and symphonic palette reads as a practical model of crossover rather than a novelty.
