Cleveland Orchestra celebrates the music of "Black Panther"
The Marvel Cinematic Universe invades Severance Music Center this weekend.
The intrigue: The Cleveland Orchestra, led by world-renowned conductor Anthony Parnther, takes on the music of "Black Panther" for two performances.
Composer Ludwig Göransson's score for the 2018 film won both an Academy Award and a Grammy.
State of play: Friday's performance will feature a pre-concert talk with Chris Jenkins, a visiting assistant professor of musicology at Oberlin College.
Saturday's performance will be preceded by a conversation with Derrick and Kevin Boseman, brothers of the late Chadwick Boseman, who played the iconic title role in "Black Panther."
Between the lines: Visitors can also view costumes from the movie on display in Severance's Smith Lobby through April 6.
The big picture: Movie scores have become all the rage for the Cleveland Orchestra.
The ensemble has performed music from films like "Jurassic Park," "West Side Story," "The Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter" franchise in recent years.
💭 Troy's thought bubble: Even compared to the orchestra's recent performances, "Black Panther" in concert feels special.
