Ron Spigelman, conductor

On Halloween night, the BPO transforms Kleinhans into a world of shadow, suspense, and orchestral storytelling. Led by Ron Spigelman, this hauntingly atmospheric program brings together music made for goosebumps, from John Williams’ Jaws and Berlioz’s Symphonie fantastique to Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain and Saint-Saëns’ Danse macabre. Each work builds tension, drama, and dark beauty, creating a concert experience perfectly tuned to the spirit of the night.

When the final note fades, the evening continues. Stay after the concert for our Halloween Night Dance in the Mary Seaton Room, with a DJ, costumes encouraged, and the bar open late. It is the ideal way to turn a concert into a full Halloween night out, elegant, playful, and shared.
