Colorado Symphony’s always-lush film score performances return with this June 20-21 show, featuring composer John Williams’ music from the inaugural, 2001 film “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone.” The Boettcher Concert Hall show, part of the larger Harry Potter Film Concert Series, will feature the Colorado Symphony performing live, to picture, every note” from the film, which will be shown in high-definition on four large screens suspended above the orchestra, according to the Symphony. Tickets for the show at 1000 14th St. are $15-$123 via coloradosymphony.org.
