While this is more of a listening pick than a viewing pick, I hope you\u2019ll forgive the loose interpretation. The magic of the music of Interstellar, Christopher Nolan\u2019s 2015 epic space adventure, was a collaboration between Hans Zimmer and organist Roger Sayer, who is performing pieces from the soundtrack at the First Congregational Church. Those acoustics! Get it! The concert also includes additional space-themed pieces, like the opening theme from 2001: A Space Odyssey and selections from The Planets by Gustav Holst. The concert *does* include a short documentary about the creation of the Interstellar soundtrack, followed by an audience Q&A.<\/p>\n
