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

Some movies you watch. This one, you hear in a whole new way. On March 7, 2027, at 2:00 PM, St. Louis Symphony Orchestra: Star Wars - A New Hope In Concert brings the film to Powell Symphony Hall in St. Louis, with the SLSO performing John Williams' score live while the movie plays. It is a film screening paired with a live orchestra, not a stage play, and that difference is the whole point.

Think about what that means for a story you may already know by heart. The actors remain onscreen. The orchestra is right there in the hall, giving voice to the music that shapes the adventure. Damon Gupton conducts, guiding the musicians through Williams' score as the film unfolds. Instead of a soundtrack coming from speakers, you get players, instruments and a conductor making the sound in the same room where you sit.

That makes this a good outing to plan with someone. Bring a longtime fan who can't hear the score without smiling. Bring a friend who loves orchestral music and wants a familiar reason to see the SLSO. Bring family or a date, and give your Sunday afternoon a destination at Powell Symphony Hall instead of another day on the couch. You will leave with something to talk about on the way out. If a live score is the missing piece in your relationship with A New Hope, find your seats for this Star Wars concert in St. Louis and make the plan.
