Home Alone Film in Concert with the BPO

See the holiday classic in the most joyful way, with the full film on screen while your BPO performs John Williams’ captivating score live.

It is family friendly, perfectly timed for the season, and ideal for starting a tradition. The laughter hits harder, the tender moments land together, and the music feels bigger because it is happening right in front of you.
