The concert marks Chris Nalls\u2019 debut as the ensemble\u2019s musical director and builds its program around all things spooky, mechanical and generally better suited to October than April. Selections pull from Wicked and The Nightmare Before Christmas, alongside Mary Shelley Meets Frankenstein, Ghost Run and Extraordinary Machines of Clockwork and Steam. It\u2019s a seasonal program without relying entirely on the usual graveyard of Halloween standards, giving the community ensemble plenty of room to make things weird before everyone goes back to respectable holiday music.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hammertheatre.com\/events-list\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Monsters, Machines &amp; Magic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Sun, Oct 11, 3pm, 13-29<\/p>\n<p>Hammer Theatre Center, San Jose<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Halloween comes with considerably more brass this year as the San Jose Metropolitan Band opens its season with&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":487447,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[190403,190404,40248,190405,119713,190406,88,90,89,2280,420],"class_list":["post-487446","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-jose","tag-hammer-theatre","tag-machines","tag-magic","tag-metroactive3","tag-monsters","tag-monsters-machines-and-magic","tag-san-jose","tag-san-jose-headlines","tag-san-jose-news","tag-silicon-valley","tag-things-to-do"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487446","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=487446"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/487446\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/487447"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=487446"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=487446"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=487446"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
