Star Wars fans, we have something truly special for you today. Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra are gearing up for a magnificent celebration of John Williams’ timeless music from all of the Star Wars films, from the original Episode IV: A New Hope in 1977 to the most recent The Rise of Skywalker as well as music from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story by Michael Giacchino. All performed spectacularly by the full forces of the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra and again conducted by Pete Harrison. If you’re a fan of Star Wars and are in need of a thrilling night out, then the BSO have you covered.
As a soundtrack enthusiast and regular concert-goer, there is no better feeling than sitting in the audience and hearing some of the greatest pieces of music in film being blasted at you live. Nothing can prepare you for an event like that, and this Star Wars concert is going to be (quite literally) out of this world.
