A long time ago in galaxy far, far away… well, you know what day it is!

John Williams’s scores for Star Wars are some of the most thrilling music ever written for the cinema. Tonight, conductor Stephen Bell joins the CBSO and together, they’ll stir so many memories of the Saga. From The Phantom Menace to The Rise of Skywalker, from the sands of Tatooine to the cliffs of AhchTo, the Force will be with you once more.
