The first St. Joseph Symphony Orchestra performance of the season will feature music from Batman, Star Wars and more. 

Music Director of the Symphony Orchestra Rico McNeela said the concert, “Meet Me at the Movies – The Sequel” will be a blockbuster. 

“It is just filled with great music,” McNeela said. “You now how they like to say that the second one is bigger and better, well this one actually is. We have a guest solo violinist, we have a guest singer, we have a guest harmonica player, we have a choir, we have a fabulous orchestra, it’s going to be just a great night filled with very familiar and big name movie music.” 

McNeela said the guest violinist Joseph Genualdi, who has played here before, will play music from The Red Violin. 

“If you remember that film, it’s hauntingly beautiful,” McNeela said. “This version of it is arranged into a piece called a chaconne which is a series of variations, but it’s variations made on music from the movie.”

McNeela said music will range from the 1930s to 2015 including pieces from a spaghetti western, a James Bond movie and an Indiana Jones movie. 

“Meet Me at the Movies – The Sequel” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday at the Missouri Theater in St. Joseph.
