Bernard Herrmann’s music for Psycho is among the greatest film scores of all time. Come hear it performed live, perfectly synchronized to the film projected on the big screen behind the Orchestra. Slashing strings, pulsing rhythms, and stark silences heighten every frame as music drives the tension in this classic thriller!
