Get Out in Concert
with the Minnesota OrchestraFri Oct 27, 2023
Orchestra Hall
When Chris, a young African American man, visits his white girlfriend’s family estate, he becomes ensnared in the more sinister, real reason for the invitation. At first, Chris reads the family’s overly accommodating behavior as nervous attempts to deal with their daughter’s interracial relationship, but as the weekend progresses, a series of increasingly disturbing discoveries lead him to a truth that he could have never imagined.

Things to know
- A far cry from sketch comedy: this decidedly haunting film—hailed by some critics as one of the best films of the 21st century—was Jordan Peele's directorial debut.
- Peele became the first Black filmmaker to win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay at the 90th Academy Awards in 2018.
- As he compiled the film's gripping score, composer Michael Abels utilized a style he calls 'gospel horror.'
- Local hip-hop artist Nur-D, who will appear with the Minnesota Orchestra, is something of a film buff—and he was thrilled to hear this was on our Movies & Music lineup. Read why it's his pick for the concert of the season.

The Grammy Award-winning Minnesota Orchestra, now in its second century, ranks among America’s top symphonic ensembles, with a distinguished history of acclaimed performances in its home state and around the world; award-winning recordings, broadcasts and educational engagement programs; and a commitment to intentionally build concert programs to feature more works by composers of color, exploring music both contemporary and historic. This past fall, Danish conductor Thomas Søndergård began his tenure as music director.
Sarah Hicks is the Minnesota Orchestra’s principal conductor of Live at Orchestra Hall, a role in which she oversees planning for and conducts many concerts in the broad-spectrum series of popular music, jazz, Broadway classics, movie scores and other genres. She also conducted the Inside the Classics and Sam & Sarah series for ten seasons.
Hicks’ career has seen collaborations with a diverse range of artists, from Hilary Hahn and Dmitri Hvorostovsky to Rufus Wainwright, Jennifer Hudson and Smokey Robinson. She has been an artistic leader in concerts featuring artists from Minnesota’s internationally-renowned popular music scene—including shows with The New Standards, multiple sold-out performances with Dessa and a live-in-concert recording released on Doomtree Records, and collaborations with indie band Cloud Cult. A specialist in film music and the film in concert genre, she is passionate about creating concert experiences which combine sight and sound, and that welcome new audiences to the orchestral genre.
