The Godfather live in Wilkes-Barre

Experience The Godfather live on September 16th

The Godfather, a band renowned for its authentic recreations of the iconic film scores of *The Godfather* trilogy and other Francis Ford Coppola works, is scheduled to perform at the F.M. Kirby Center in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania on September 16, 2026. Their musical style centers around instrumental arrangements drawing heavily from Nino Rota’s original compositions, evoking the atmosphere and dramatic tension of the films. The ensemble typically features a combination of traditional Italian instruments alongside orchestral arrangements, delivering a cinematic experience through music.

The F.M. Kirby Center is a fully-restored art deco theatre originally opened in 1938 as a movie palace. Located in downtown Wilkes-Barre, it operated primarily as a cinema until its decline in the 1980s. A significant restoration project completed in 2011 revitalized the venue, transforming it into a multi-purpose performing arts center. It now hosts a diverse range of events including concerts, Broadway shows, comedy acts, and community events. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and remains a prominent landmark within the city, known for its ornate architecture and acoustics.
