Concert tour brings the music of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse to San Antonio’s Majestic Theatre

In Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018), viewers join Miles Morales, an Afro Latinx teen from Brooklyn, as a bite from a radioactive spider empowers him to explores the possibilities and mysteries of the Spider-Verse.

The animated film’s composer, Daniel Pemberton, received plenty of accolades prior to his work on the soundtrack for Into the Spider-Verse and its sequel Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse (2023), and is known for his fusion of genres and incorporation of nontraditional sounds and instruments.

Into the Spider-Verse features a score informed by hip-hop music and includes key moments in which the clicks of pens and clacks of computer keyboards become the primary musical instruments.

Inspired by Pemberton’s work, the Live in Concert tour takes an innovative approach to orchestral accompaniment. The action of Into the Spider-Verse will unfurl alongside a live performance of the film score featuring musicians playing orchestral instruments as a scratch DJ performs with turntables live on stage.

$25 and up, 7 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 12, Majestic Theatre, 224 E. Houston St., (210) 226-3333, majesticempire.com.
