Star Wars in Concert Tickets

Star Wars

has been part of American pop culture since 1977 when

A New Hope

was released in theaters and introduced fans to the series for the first time. Since then, books, movies, video games and television series have all added to the vast

Star Wars

universe. The music produced by composer John Williams is no exception; numerous tracks have imprinted into the minds of fans of all ages and stretched the limits of their imagination. From the themes of the battle between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Darth Maul to the final battle at Endor, Star Wars in Concert brings the music of these iconic films to life through live performances in conjunction with footage from the movies replayed through three-story-high LED screens.

A Musical Journey Through a Galaxy Far, Far Away

Previously known as Star Wars: A Musical Journey, Star Wars in Concert is a series of concerts that feature choir and symphony orchestras. The concert's first performance took place at the

O2 Arena

in London, England, with 20,000 fans in attendance. The first tour in North America began on Oct. 9th, 2009 in Anaheim, Calif. The second and most recent North American tour ended on April 15th, 2015 in London, Ontario. The Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra performed the majority of the concerts. All of the musical selections are based on the film episode order but do not necessarily correlate with the clips that are shown on screen. Star Wars in Concert returned two years later and kicked off at the David Geffen Hall Box Office on

Star Wars

Day (May the Fourth). In recognition of the commercial success of

Star Wars

, which is in part due to the orchestral score of John Williams, the American Film Institute chose the score to the very first movie as the greatest American film score of all time. Williams' music has earned him 23 Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes and five Academy Awards. He is also a recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors.
