Orchestra Lumos Presents Disney and Pixar's Toy Story in Concert
Orchestra Lumos, formerly Stamford Symphony, will present Toy Story in Concert
featuring a screening of the groundbreaking film with Oscar® and Grammy®-winning
composer Randy Newman’s musical score performed live by the orchestra. The concert
will be led by Constantine Kitsopoulos. Ticket info here.
The “Toy Story” films are beloved worldwide for their compelling characters,
extraordinary storytelling, stunning visuals and the music of Randy Newman. The
composer and songwriter is behind signature songs including “You’ve Got a Friend in
Me,” “Strange Things” and “I Will Go Sailing No More.”
Ever wonder what toys do when people aren't around? “Toy Story” answers that
question with a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival
toys – Woody, the lanky, likable cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the fearless space ranger.
Led by Woody, Andy's toys live happily in his room until Andy's birthday brings Buzz
Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy's heart, Woody plots against
Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the
comically mismatched duo must learn to put aside their differences and form an uneasy
alliance if they are to survive a hilarious adventure-filled mission back home to Andy.
Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story in Concert is presented by Orchestra Lumos, conducted
by Constantine Kitsopoulos and will be performed at the Palace Theatre, Stamford on
Sunday March 30 at 3:00pm. For tickets and further information, visit
