Cinema Magic Live: Film Music Classics with the Hofer Symphony Orchestra
On Sunday, October 26, 2025, the Hofer Symphony Orchestra will transform the Festsaal of the Freiheitshalle into a splendid cinema palace – with a grand orchestral sound, legendary themes from Casablanca to Harry Potter, and the energetic direction of Austrian conductor Gottfried Rabl. The performance begins at 6:00 PM, with doors opening at 5:00 PM.
Soundscapes that Tell Stories
When the iconic fanfares of Indiana Jones light up, when E.T. glides across the night sky with warm strings, or when Forrest Gump navigates his paths with delicate woodwinds, the live atmosphere is created that only a symphonic orchestra can provide. Precise orchestration, bright brass, finely balanced strings – the sound of the Hofer Symphony Orchestra brings large screen moments to life in the hall.
Conducting with a Cinematic Feel: Gottfried Rabl
Rabl stands for a style-conscious synchronization of visual aesthetics and concert hall – even without projection. The Bernstein student closely collaborated on A Quiet Place and brings this dramatic expertise to the stage: clear entries, breathable phrases, and a lively stage performance. Numerous recordings document his focus on film music and richness of sound colors.
The Orchestra of the City: Hofer Symphony Orchestra
Since 1945, the orchestra has shaped the region, performing with classical stars and being recognized for outstanding work with young talent. Under chief conductor Martijn Dendievel (since the 2024/25 season), it combines core repertoire with crossover – ideal conditions for a film music concert that merges nostalgia and the present.
Live Atmosphere in the Festsaal
The Festsaal of the Freiheitshalle offers excellent acoustics, comfortable sightlines, and barrier-free access. The audience experiences dynamic arcs of tension, rhythmic precision, and those fine details – harp glissandos, bright horn chorales – that make film melodies penetrate directly to the skin.
