ENG

✨А magic concert on November 16th will take place at 8:00 pm in the incredibly atmospheric Ryelandtzaal in the heart of Bruges. The owl has found you! Immerse yourself in the world of magical music from the cult fantasy based on the novels of the same name by J.K. Rowling – the most enchanting event of November for the whole family, an experience not to be missed!

We invite you to Hogwarts - on an exciting musical journey with JK Rowling’s favorite characters. Incredible delight for the whole family is guaranteed. The evening programme includes the magical music from unforgettable fantasy films of Harry Potter performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble.

The film's soundtracks were masterfully composed by John Williams. The composer wrote the music at his mansions in Los Angeles and Tanglewood and then recorded at Abbey Road and Air Lyndhurst studios in London in September 2001. The film features many characteristic leitmotifs, most of which were repeated in the second film of the Harry Potter franchise, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. The main composition, "Hedwig's Theme", is present in all films in a modified form. The soundtrack was released on October 30, 2001, on CD media.

On December 14, 2001, the soundtrack was certified gold in Canada (50,000 units) and in January 2002 in Japan (100,000 units). In 2002, John Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music for a Film but lost to Howard Shore, who wrote the compositions for another fantasy film, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, another fantasy film, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, music from which can also be heard at our concerts.

The album became a success, peaking at number 48 on the Billboard 200 and number two on the Top Soundtracks Chart. In the official UK charts, the album was at number 19.

Immerse yourself in the world of legendary fantasy and experience the magic of Hogwarts!
