ROCKFORD — An all new national tour that backs “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse” with a live orchestra, band and a DJ on turntables is coming to the Coronado Performing Arts Center this fall.

“Spider-man: Into the Spider-Verse” Live in Concert takes place at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 19 and tickets go on sale this week.

The Academy Award-winning animated picture is played on screen as The Broadway Sinfonietta, an all-women and majority women-of-color orchestra, plays the film’s hip-hop infused score along with a band and DJ. The movie includes songs from Post Malone, Lil Wayne, Jaden Smith and Nicki Minaj.

“Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is one of my favorite scores I’ve ever written,” the film’s composer Daniel Pemberton said in a national news release. “Utilizing a full orchestra, crazy electronics and unbelievable turntable scratching techniques amongst a million other things is so technically complex, I never thought we’d ever be able to actually reproduce it in a live setting; but somehow, we have. I am ridiculously excited for fans around the country to see their very first Spider-Verse concert later this year.”
