The Music of Harry Potter by Mystery Ensemble

26 Oct, 2025

6 December 18:00

Immerse yourself in the world of magical music from the cult fantasy based on the novels of the same name by J.K. Rowling — the most enchanting event of winter for the whole family, an experience not to be missed! The evening programme includes music from unforgettable fantasy films of Harry Potter performed by the extraordinary Mystery Ensemble.

The film’s soundtracks were masterfully composed by John Williams. The composer wrote the music at his mansions in Los Angeles and Tanglewood and then recorded at Abbey Road and Air Lyndhurst studios in London in September 2001. The film features many characteristic leitmotifs, most of which were repeated in the second part of the Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets franchise. The main composition, «Hedwig’s Theme», is present in all films in a modified form. The soundtrack was released on October 30, 2001, on CD media.

On December 14, 2001, the soundtrack was certified gold in Canada (50,000 units) and in January 2002 in Japan (100,000 units). In 2002, John Williams was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Music for a Film but lost to Howard Shore, who wrote the compositions for another fantasy film, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, another fantasy film, “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring”, music from which can also be heard at our concerts.
