St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Star Wars - A New Hope In Concert

St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Star Wars - A New Hope In Concert at Powell Symphony Hall

Imagine the film you know by heart, but with the music happening right in front of you. On March 5, 2027, Star Wars: A New Hope comes to Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis, and the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra performs John Williams' score live while the movie plays. This is a film screening paired with a live orchestra, not a stage play. The picture stays on the screen. The sound is made in the room.

That changes how a familiar story feels. The actors remain onscreen, so the story unfolds just as you remember it. The score is no longer something coming from speakers. It is played by musicians, led by conductor Damon Gupton. Every cue is a chance to hear a piece you may have hummed for years in a new way. If you have ever wanted the music to be the star for once, this is your chance.

It is also an easy night to share. Bring a longtime fan who knows every scene, or someone who has never seen the film on a big screen with an orchestra. You get a shared outing built around one beloved movie and one celebrated score, starting at 7:00 PM. Conversations afterward will write themselves. Make a night of it in St. Louis and give A New Hope the live musical treatment. Check ticket options for SLSO's Star Wars concert at Powell Symphony Hall and plan your trip to a galaxy far, far away.
