Warner Bros. Discovery has teamed up with entertainment ticketing platform Fever to celebrate 100 years of its iconic film studio with a series of candlelit string quartet performances in cities across the world.
Fans of some of Warner Bros. Studio's most famous projects — from "Harry Potter" to "The Lord of The Rings" — can rejoice as the studio embarks on an international concert tour that's making a stop in Philadelphia this spring.
Warner Bros. is hosting "Candlelight: 100 Years of Warner Bros." at South Philadelphia's Bok Building on Friday, May 5, with performances scheduled at 6 and 8:30 p.m. Listeso String Quartet will perform a century's worth of film scores and original songs from the studio as part of its 100th anniversary celebration.
