Feel the love: "The Lion King" roars to life with Cleveland Orchestra

State of play: Earlier this summer, the ensemble performed the music of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone."

• Recent years have seen concerts featuring the music of "Black Panther," "Jurassic Park" and "The Lord of the Rings" franchise.

What they're saying: "The notion of having this live symphony orchestra changes the experience completely," Hicks tells Axios.

• "Often when we see a film in theaters, we don't recognize how much music there is. When you see 80 musicians on stage, you know exactly how much music there is."

The animated picture: Hans Zimmer composed the score for 1994's "The Lion King."

• Elton John and Tim Rice also wrote five original songs for the movie, including "Circle of Life" and "Can You Feel the Love Tonight."
• "It's a great film and a very heartfelt film," Hicks says. "Like many Disney movies, there's a death of a parent. So, the emotional impact of the score is really noticeable."

If you go: Showtime is 7pm for each concert.

• Tickets start at $35.
