<p>Message from John Williams</p>
<p>Creating the music for the Star Wars films has been an exciting and wonderful experience for me, and I have therefore derived particular pleasure in assembling a compendium of themes from all of the films to be presented in Star Wars: In Concert.<br />
The Editors of Lucasfilm have created an original film montage to accompany each of the musical selections, and in the process. I believe that a singular and unique Star Wars experience has been born.</p>
<p>My hope is that audiences will derive real pleasure from the event, as well as celebrate in a new and joyous way, the dazzling originality of the star wars saga.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BG9TCmw3uKA">Extended Trailer</a></p>
<p>About the Show</p>
<p>Star Wars: In Concert is a unique event that combines John Williams&#8217; unforgettable music, performed by a live symphony orchestra and chorus, with specially edited footage from six Star Wars films. Through each musical piece, audiences will experience the key themes, characters and story elements of the epic Star Wars saga from a new perspective. taking a remarkable excursion into the heart of a Galaxy Far, Far Away.</p>
<p>A true multi-media experience; Star Wars: In Concert features a large, specially constructed LED screen &#8211; one of the largest screens ever taken on tour &#8211; onto which the newly edited film sequences will be projected and synchronized to a live performance of music from John Williams scores. Anthony Daniels, the actor who portrays C-3P0 in all six films, will introduce each segment of the two hour show, guiding audiences through the Star Wars story in a fresh and exciting way.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9Thzq3ZV0M">Asteroid Field</a></p>
<p>Through the power of music and images, we follow the mythic story of Anakin Skywalker, experience the rise of the Galactic Empire, share the brave struggle of the Rebel Alliance, and thrill to the triumph of good over evil. Along the way we meet many of the legendary characters who share the Star Wars universe &#8211; the valiant Luke Skywalker, wise Yoda, noble Princess Leia, stalwart R2-D2 and the irreplaceable C3P0. it is a new way to experience this epic story that is sure to enthrall film fans, music fans, and Star Wars fans of all ages.</p>
<p>May the force be with you!</p>
