Disney and Pixar, Toy Story in Concert

Kyle Knox, Conductor

Madison Symphony Orchestra’s MSO at the Movies presents Disney and Pixar’s Toy Story in Concert featuring a screening of the groundbreaking complete film with Oscar® and Grammy®-winning composer Randy Newman’s musical score performed live to the film in Overture Hall.

The “Toy Story” films are beloved worldwide for their compelling characters, extraordinary storytelling, stunning visuals and the music of Randy Newman. The composer and songwriter is behind signature songs including “You’ve Got a Friend in Me,” “Strange Things” and “I Will Go Sailing No More.”

Ever wonder what toys do when people aren’t around? “Toy Story” answers that question with 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. Led by Woody, Andy’s toys live happily in his room until Andy’s birthday brings Buzz Lightyear onto the scene. Afraid of losing his place in Andy’s heart, Woody plots against Buzz. But when circumstances separate Buzz and Woody from their owner, the comically mismatched duo must learn to put aside their differences and form an uneasy alliance if they are to survive a hilarious adventure-filled mission back home to Andy.
