Pops concert: Sports classics
From Quidditch to Queen, the Allentown
Symphony Orchestra explores the relationship between sports and music at the
next “Pops Concert,” 7:30 p.m. Jan. 18, led by guest conductor Carl Topilow of
the Cleveland Pops Orchestra. “Music and Sports” looks at how music captures
the emotional impact of sports, from the unforgettable theme (“Gonna Fly Now”
by Bill Conti) to “Rocky” (1976) with Rocky Balboa running up the 72 steps of
the Philadelphia Art Museum, to the inspirational theme from Vangelis that is
the backdrop for the Olympic runners in “Chariots of Fire” (1981).
