Arapahoe Phil embracing the macabre

Arapahoe Philharmonic, led by Devin Patrick Hughes — who also serves as the conductor for Boulder Symphony — is embracing the macabre mood with “The Haunting Concert Hall.”

The show — that will feature songs from iconic movies, such as Mike Oldfield’s “Tubular Bells” from “The Exorcist” — will take place Friday at 7:30 p.m. at Lone Tree Arts Center, south of Denver.

Tickets are $12-$37. There is also an option to livestream the show.

“I love showcasing the orchestra with all different kinds of genres and music,” Hughes said. “The show was created around the idea of music that scares us and concepts that are on the darker side of things. This can be found both in the standard classical repertoire, like Rachmaninoff and Berlioz, and, naturally, also in the horror film genre.”
