Battles, Duels, Attacks and Wars: spectacular music from a galaxy far, far away.

John Williams’ contribution to the Star Wars universe cannot be overstated. Even those who fiercely disagree about the consistency of the movies agree (mostly) that Williams’ scores are magnificent: he has scored the franchise ever since its inception. This year, incredibly, marks the 50th anniversary of the original Star Wars. From the unmistakable main title and the soaringly romantic ‘Across the Stars’, to the broodingly menacing ‘Revenge of the Sith’, Williams creates fantastical musical worlds, at least equal to the action on screen. The energetic and ever-versatile Michael Seal, leads the band. Expect to be thoroughly immersed in another world.
