Michael Jackson Thriller by MC Album Ensemble

Music Compound’s Album Ensemble presents Michael Jackson’s Thriller—performed live, track by track!

Join us on Saturday, October 31, or Sunday, November 1, at Music Compound for an unforgettable tribute to one of the most iconic and influential albums of all time.

Our talented teen and adult musicians, alongside Music Compound instructors, have spent weeks rehearsing, collaborating, and preparing to bring the complete Thriller experience to life. Audiences will enjoy legendary songs including “Wanna Be Startin’ Somethin’,” “Beat It,” “Billie Jean,” “Human Nature,” “P.Y.T.,” and, of course, “Thriller.”

The Album Ensemble is more than a concert—it is an intensive, intergenerational experience that brings musicians of different ages and backgrounds together to study and perform some of the greatest music ever recorded. Participants strengthen their musicianship, stage presence, confidence, and teamwork while creating a professional-level live production for the community.
