Tickets are on sale for Dayton Live’s presentation of “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets in Concert” slated Friday, May 9 at the Schuster Center.

Ron Spigelman will guest conduct the Dayton Philharmonic Orchestra in performing John Williams’ beautifully soaring, enchanting Grammy-nominated score live from 2002′s “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” the second film in the “Harry Potter” series, while the entire film plays in high-definition on a 40-foot screen.

In “Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets,” cars fly, trees fight back and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year at Hogwarts. Adventure and danger await when bloody writing on a wall announces: “The Chamber of Secrets has been opened.” To save Hogwarts will require all of Harry, Ron and Hermione’s magical abilities and courage.
