Spokane Symphony: Star Wars: A New Hope in Concert

There is no more iconic movie music than John Williams’ scores for the Star Wars films. But the series’ aural importance goes deeper than that. For many young fans, it’s the first time they realize the power of music in film or that symphonic arrangements can be thrilling rides and not just stuffy old guy music that parents like. When the opening theme hits, viewers aren’t only sonically whisked to a galaxy far, far away, it’s often the beginning of a galactic journey of musical exploration. Spokane Symphony embraces this by playing along with screenings of the original groundbreaking blockbuster, Star Wars: A New Hope.
