The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble

A unique concert will take place in the historic Town Hall in the heart of Oxford.

Enjoy the music from the beloved film series based on the eponymous novels by J.K. Rowling. The Harry Potter soundtracks — the most enchanting event of the season for the whole family — promise an experience that cannot be missed!

The evening program includes the magical music from the unforgettable Harry Potter fantasy films, 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 part of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets franchise. 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.

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!

Duration: 60 minutes (doors will open 45 minutes prior to the scheduled start time and late entry is not permitted)
