About

Music from Cobra Kai, The Penguin, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, and more

Just before Comic-Con descends upon San Diego, Shredding the Multiverse offers a fresh way to experience the stories that capture our imagination. Bringing together composers Mick Giacchino (The Penguin, Muppet Mayhem), Zach Robinson, and Leo Birenberg (Cobra Kai), this special concert explores the music behind some of today’s most beloved screen worlds.

Selections from Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, The Penguin, Cobra Kai, and more are reimagined in a high-energy live performance by an all-star ensemble of Southern California studio musicians.
