    Hemmens Cultural Center
    $25 - $65
    02:30 PM - 05:00 PM on Sun, 11 Jan 2026

    The Elgin Symphony Orchestra and point2pointproductions are bringing a concert-style performance of “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” to The Hemmens Cultural Center on Sunday, Jan. 11, 2026, at 2:30 p.m.

    This lushly scored retelling of Victor Hugo’s epic story of love, acceptance and what it means to be a hero showcases music from Disney’s Academy Award nominated 1996 animated film and incorporates new songs by the legendary creative team of Alan Menken and Stephen Schwartz.

    This production will include dramatic lighting, exquisite costumes, the musicians of the Elgin Symphony Orchestra, point2pointproduction actors, and a large chorus. The performance, underwritten in part by The Palmer Foundation, lasts approximately two-and-a-half hours, including one intermission, and is appropriate for ages 12 and older.

    Tickets go on sale Friday, Sept. 26, 2025, at www.ElginSymphony.org. Tickets range from $25 - $65. Student tickets are $15.

    The Elgin Symphony Orchestra and its Music Director, Chad Goodman, received Orchestra of the Year and Conductor of the Year Awards in 2025 from the Illinois Council of Orchestras.
