Madison Symphony Orchestra

Historically, the movies have provided terrific soundtracks, especially films intended for kids (think of many Disney scores) or adventure flicks intended for wide audiences (Star Wars, the Indiana Jones franchise). Madison Symphony Orchestra here plucks from the Pixar vaults, with music and visuals from 15 films including Toy Story, Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, WALL-E, and more, with composers including Randy Newman, Michael Giacchino and Thomas Newman.
