Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: The Lion King in Concert

Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra: The Lion King in Concert at Hilbert Circle Theatre

For families who have watched The Lion King together, the music offers another way into the story. On February 14, 2027, the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra brings that feeling to Hilbert Circle Theatre in Indianapolis with The Lion King in Concert, a 2:00 PM show where the music is not background. It is front and center.

Here is the heart of it. The ISO performs the score live while the original 1994 animated film screens above the stage. That means the story you know plays out on screen, while the sound fills the room in real time. Hans Zimmer's score is the featured music, and the songs come from Elton John and Tim Rice, with African vocal and choir arrangements by Lebo M. Hearing those pieces performed by an orchestra gives familiar scenes a presence no home screen can match.

Jack Everly is the announced conductor, guiding the orchestra as it stays synchronized with the film. It is an afternoon built for sharing, whether you bring someone who grew up on the movie or someone who is about to see it in a whole new way. The presentation is licensed by Disney Concerts, so you are getting an official concert version of a story that many families already treasure. Go for the nostalgia. Stay for the thrill of watching music and picture come together before your eyes. If that sounds like your kind of Valentine's Day weekend memory, grab your seats for The Lion King in Concert in Indianapolis.
