Alfred Hitchcock’s Psycho contains one of the most chilling and memorable movie scenes ever made – the shocking shower scene. But equally chilling is Bernard Herrmann’s musical underscore with its shrieking, stabbing violins. Few film and music partnerships have surpassed Psycho, and in this concert you can experience this cinematic masterpiece with live orchestra as the strings of the CSO accompany every terrifying moment of the doomed story.
