The Houston Symphony will perform John Williams’ epic score for Star Wars: A New Hope in Concert. The symphony will screen the iconic 1977 American film by award-winning director George Lucas, bringing its soundtrack to life.

Regarded as one of the most important films in the history of cinema, Star Wars: A New Hope commenced the start of the movie’s franchise, launched the careers of its young stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, and Carrie Fisher, and revolutionized motion pictures. Its special effects and its restoration of the primacy of film scores to the art of storytelling changed the way films are made in Hollywood forever.
