For those who are searching for musical “magic” at your Halloween Party, here is the answer!
You’ve heard of the “Dead Poets Society” ?
Well, how about “The Dead Composers Society Orchestra” ?
A trio of misfit musicians- flute, violin and ‘cello to cast a “spell” of fun for everyone!
Here is a partial set-list of their most requested numbers – and yes, as Chicago’s favorite strolling violinist, I love to play the theme from Mel Brooks greatest movie of all time – “Young Frankenstein”!
– Danse Macabre
– Theme from the Twilight Zone
– Harry Potter movie music themes
– Funeral March for a Marionette
– Sorcerer’s Apprentice
– Night on Bald Mountain
– Halloween by Charles Ives, American composer
– Chopin’s Funeral March
– Phillip Glass’ theme to “The Illusionist”
This terrifying trio is the perfect addition to any Halloween event – from the Chicago Botanic Gardens “Fright Fest” to haunted house parties – even an afternoon public library concert!
Not scary enough? Then let me introduce to you The Dead Composers Society “Rockestra”! This gruesome group is scary good – saxophone, drums, guitar, bass !
A partial set-list…
I Put a Spell on You – Screamin’ Jay Hawkins
The Green Manalishi – Fleetwood Mac
Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
Frankenstein – Edgar Winter
Black Magic Woman – Santana
Led by popular Chicago bandleader, Roy “The Vampire” Vombrack, he will sink his teeth into these meaty melodies! The quartet is a valuable attraction for outdoor haunted walks, bonfires and ghost tours anywhere in the Chicagoland area!
