David Butcher, chief executive of the Hallé Orchestra, said: “The Hallé is delighted to be a part of this tour celebrating the thirtieth anniversary of Jurassic Park.
"It is a fantastic opportunity for the Hallé to bring the highest quality orchestral music to an audience who may not have heard an orchestra perform live before.
"Jurassic Park’s score is iconic and gives the musicians the opportunity to showcase their work to new audiences away from the usual Concert Hall settings”.
The performance is opening at the Manchester AO Arena on Wednesday, October 18, before continuing to the Birmingham Resorts World, Leeds First Direct Arena, Nottingham Motorpoint, and concluding at the Liverpool M&S Bank Arena on October 29.
Lucy Noble, artistic director at AEG Artistic Presents, said: “We’re thrilled to launch AEG Artistic Presents with the 30th Anniversary celebration that will be Jurassic Park In Concert.
"The massive arena spectacular showing of the film with the Hallé Orchestra performing the award-winning score will give family audiences the opportunity to experience this film like never before in a wholly immersive way.
"Presenting these incredible events around the country is what we continue to keep doing”.
The Hallé was founded in Manchester by Sir Charles Hallé and gave its first concert in the Free Trade Hall on 30 January 1858.

The film was released to great critical acclaim in 1993 and was followed by a further two pictures in the franchise.
The franchise was later resurrected in 2015, 22 years after the release of Jurassic Park, in the form of the Jurassic World trilogy.
