Hook in Concert Joins the Roster
We are thrilled to bring the iconic Hook in Concert to symphony orchestras in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and New Zealand, in partnership with Askonas Holt.
Steven Spielberg’s beloved epic Hook celebrates its 35th anniversary with a spectacular film-to-concert presentation. A 75-piece orchestra brings John Williams’ iconic score to life, performed in sync with the full movie on the big screen, delivering an unforgettable experience for audiences of all ages.
Released in 1991, Hook became a global box office success, grossing over $300 million worldwide and earning five Academy Award nominations. Starring Robin Williams as an adult Peter Pan—now Peter Banning, a workaholic lawyer who has forgotten his past life in Neverland—the film follows his daring return to rescue his children from Captain Hook (Dustin Hoffman) and rediscover the magic of who he truly is.
Originally envisioned as a musical, the film features two Williams-penned songs: “We Don’t Want to Grow Up” and the Oscar-nominated “When You’re Alone.” Williams’ lush, imaginative score—widely regarded as one of his finest—earned two GRAMMY nominations and the BMI Film Music Award. Beloved across generations, Hook has become a timeless classic. In concert, its rich musical landscape and heartfelt storytelling combine to transport audiences back to Neverland, blending nostalgia and spectacle in one magical celebration.
Hook in Concert will be managed by Stephanie Carlesimo at Opus 3 Artists and Kate Sweeney at Askonas Holt. The project follows announcements last season that the two companies would be partnering on a series of similar productions, including Final Symphony: Music from Final Fantasy, Heroes: A Video Game Symphony and Picasso Symphony.
