The Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra is hosting a Star Wars-themed night on December 8 at St. David\u2019s Hall. The concert is a celebration of the legendary film composer John Williams, with a particular focus on his work for the Star Wars franchise, in anticipation of the release of Star Wars Episode 8: The Last Jedi this December. <\/span><\/p>\n

The concert will also focus on Williams\u2019 music from other films, such as Saving Private Ryan and Jurassic Park. The Star Wars celebrations will start in earnest in part 2 however, with pieces ranging from A New Hope\u2019s main title theme to Rey\u2019s theme from The Force Awakens. The concert will also feature a tribute to the late Carrie Fisher with a performance of Princess Leia\u2019s theme.<\/span><\/p>\n

Williams\u2019 work has been celebrated by many, and the concert\u2019s conductor Michael Bell is no exception. \u201c<\/span>We\u2019ve performed a lot of John Williams film music over the years\u201d said Bell \u201cand it is music that the orchestra love playing, and I love conducting.\u201d Bell sees the concert as a tribute to John Williams, who had his 85th birthday this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since forming the Cardiff Philharmonic Orchestra in 1982, Bell was determined to include film music in their programmes, and so the orchestra performed John Williams\u2019 soundtrack for Star Wars for the first time in 1985. They have since performed a variety of film scores over the years, ranging from 1930s classics such as The Bride of Frankenstein to Harry Potter and Star Wars. <\/span><\/p>\n

This year\u2019s performance is a follow-up from last year\u2019s sellout A Night at the Movies concert. The 2016 show was the largest audience for an orchestral concert at St David\u2019s Hall in twelve years. Tickets for this year are already selling fast, so Star Wars fans had better hope that the force is with them. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
