The Spooktacular!
Set in Rotherham's old Templeborough Steel Works, Magna Science Adventure
Centre is to become the setting for a spooky night of music that will chill
you to your bones.
The Spooktacular! is to be a spine-tingling evening of spooky sounds with
the Yorkshire Wind Orchestra. The performance is taking place in Magna’s
scary Face of Steel at 7pm on Halloween, 31st October 2009.
Watch out for ghosts and ghouls as your ears board the Ghost Train, a
musical journey on a driver-less night train bound for nowhere! Beware of
the dance of death, Danse Macabre, better known to some as the theme to
Jonathan Creek.
Spells and potions will be flying high with magic from Harry Potter and also
the Sorcerer’s Apprentice, commonly recognized from Disney's family film
Fantasia.
A Night on Bald Mountain, also used in Fantasia is the popular fantasy for
orchestra, depicting the gruesome goings on during a Witches Sabbath. The
rituals of magic, demonic rites and the conjuring up of evil spirits will
continue with Incantation and Dance.
Amanda Woodhouse, orchestra manager commented "You are in for a real trick
or treat this Halloween. The Spooktacular! promises lots for music lovers
and anyone who wants to experience something different this Halloween. There
will be extra activities for children during the concert, a fancy dress
competition for those who dare to dress up and a few surprises too. Just
remember to wrap up warm!"
