Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Home Alone in Concert

Detroit Symphony Orchestra: Home Alone in Concert at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall

Kevin’s holiday mischief meets John Williams’s live orchestral score. The Detroit Symphony Orchestra presents Home Alone in Concert at Detroit Symphony Orchestra Hall on Wednesday, December 9, 2026, at 7:30 PM, pairing the film with John Williams's captivating score performed in the room with you. Conductor Enrico Lopez-Yañez leads the musicians, giving you a reason to experience the beloved holiday story in a new way.

John Williams's music carries charm, mischief and warmth through every scene. Hearing those cues live—the musical mischief, suspense and tenderness of Williams’s writing—adds dimension the home screen cannot deliver. The orchestra responds to Kevin's ingenuity and the chaos that follows, giving familiar scenes a live musical dimension. Bring someone who loves the film and wants to hear its musical backbone given full attention.

Macaulay Culkin's performance captured hearts worldwide when the film arrived in 1990, and the story remains a holiday touchstone. Watching young Kevin defend his house while the Detroit Symphony Orchestra performs in sync pairs screen comedy with the immediate presence of the musicians. The combination of screen action and orchestral presence gives the evening its appeal.

This is a chance to celebrate a charming, hilarious classic with its memorable score performed live. Book your tickets for Home Alone in Concert and enjoy the Detroit Symphony Orchestra on December 9.
