This 2020 Blossom Music Festival movie concert will be presented in high-definition on large screens, with its unforgettable score performed live to picture by The Cleveland Orchestra.

On August 29 & 30, 2020, rediscover one of the tales that sparked a cultural phenomenon: Harry Potter and the Chamber of SecretsTM, the second film in the Harry Potter series. Cars fly, trees fight back and a mysterious house-elf comes to warn Harry Potter at the start of his second year at Hogwarts. Adventure and danger await when bloody writing on a wall announces: The Chamber of Secrets has been opened. To save Hogwarts will require all of Harry, Ron and Hermione's magical abilities and courage.

Earning a Grammy nomination for the score, the incredible music composed by John Williams became an instant classic, conjuring beautiful and soaring motifs continuing the adventures of Harry Potter on his magical journey.

In 2016, CineConcerts and Warner Bros. Consumer Products announced the Harry Potter Film Concert Series, a global concert tour celebrating the Harry Potter films. Since the world premiere of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone in Concert in June 2016, more than 2 million fans have enjoyed this magical experience from J.K. Rowling's Wizarding World, which is scheduled to include over 1,000 performances across more than 48 countries worldwide through 2019.

The complete 2020 Blossom Music Festival season will be announced early in 2020. Blossom Music Festival is sponsored by season sponsor The J.M. Smucker Co.
