Kathryn Price

Kathryn Price is listed as director for the Johnson City Symphony Orchestra's "Winter Warmth" concert on December 12, 2026, which features a concert suite drawn from Alan Silvestri's score for "The Polar Express." Beyond this appearance, no verified biographical details are available.

This program centers on Alan Silvestri's music for "The Polar Express," arranged as an orchestral concert suite rather than a full film screening with score. Listeners can expect the sweeping, bell-laden orchestration that underscores the film's train journey to the North Pole, including its rhythmic "chugging" figures meant to evoke a locomotive and its broad, warm string melodies tied to the story's themes of wonder and belief. As part of a "Winter Warmth" themed concert, the suite is likely paired with other seasonal or holiday selections, giving the evening a festive, family-friendly character. Audiences new to orchestral music will find the suite accessible, since its melodies were written to support clear on-screen storytelling and carry that same directness into the concert hall.
