Our season reaches its climax with a journey through the works of the greatest composer of modern film, John Williams.

His music transcends from the brilliance of the opening fanfare, to the opulent “Imperial March” to the “Throne Room”. Williams affects our very soul. Experience the power and majesty of life through Star Wars and the classical music that inspired it.
