Orchestra Lumos presents Toy Story in Concert featuring a screening of the classic film, Toy Story, accompanied by Oscar® and Grammy®-winning composer Randy Newman’s musical score performed live to the film by the full Orchestra Lumos!

The Toy Story films are beloved worldwide for their compelling characters, extraordinary storytelling, stunning visuals and the music of Randy Newman.

Toy Story is a fantastic fun-filled journey, viewed mostly through the eyes of two rival toys—Woody, the lanky, likable cowboy, and Buzz Lightyear, the fearless space ranger. These toys find themselves on a hilarious adventure-filled mission where the only way they can survive is to form an uneasy alliance.
