Jon Burlingame continues to keep the film music flame burning in the pages of the Hollywood trades. Today Variety printed his rundown of a film music concert surge this October.

Tickets must you buy. See starwarsinconcert.com for tour dates.

“October alone is jammed with major film music events across the nation. Today in Anaheim, Calif., a 58-city tour of the arena show “Star Wars: In Concert” kicks off at the Honda Center. On Friday and Saturday (Oct. 9-10), New York’s Radio City Music Hall will play host to nearly 300 musicians and singers performing Howard Shore’s “Fellowship of the Ring” score live while the three-hour film unspools.”

But wait, there’s more! Burlingame writes:

“In the Emerald City, the Seattle Symphony will play Bernard Herrmann’s Psycho score live to the Hitchcock picture Oct. 29-31 in Benaroya Hall.

And in greater L.A., John Williams will conduct the Los Angeles Philharmonic in an all-film music concert Oct. 16-18, and John Mauceri will perform an all-Disney music program Oct. 20, both at Walt Disney Concert Hall; the Golden State Pops Orchestra will devote most of its Oct. 24 program to music from both incarnations of Battlestar Galactica at the Warner Grand theater in San Pedro, Calif.; and Ennio Morricone will make his West Coast debut at the Hollywood Bowl Oct. 25.”

Time to dust off your black trench coats, nerds, and get yourself some culture.
