Star Wars 50th Anniversary

The Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra transport you to a musical galaxy, far, far away, with an out-of-this-world concert, conducted by Pete Harrison, at the Lighthouse, Poole on Saturday 6 March.

Can you believe it’s been 50 years since Princess Leia, Han Solo and Luke Skywalker first graced our screens? The Force will be with you all as the orchestra play the iconic tracks that accompanied George Lucas’ epic space opera.

Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra presents a magnificent celebration of John Williams’ timeless music from the entire film saga since the original Episode IV: A New Hope in 1977. All performed spectacularly by the full forces of the orchestra and conducted by Pete Harrison, it surely will be an event not to be missed – an evening of some of the best movie music ever written.
