George A. Romero is coming home to the theater where one of horror’s most important stories first came to life.

The George A. Romero Foundation (GARF) and Music Director Christian Kriegeskotte announced Monday the world premiere of George A. Romero’s “A Night at the Symphony,” an all-new symphonic concert experience celebrating the life, career, and creative legacy of the filmmaker known as the “Godfather of Horror.”

Presented by the Pittsburgh Cultural Trust and performed live by the Chamber Orchestra of Pittsburgh, the one-night-only world premiere will include a host of surprise guests and take place March 26 at 7:30 p.m. at the Byham Theater. This is the same venue, then known as The Fulton, where Romero premiered “Night of the Living Dead” in 1968.
