SLSO Visits a Galaxy Far, Far Away

The St. Louis Symphony Orchestra continued through the Star Wars universe April 13-14 with performances of John Williams’ score to Star Wars: The Last Jedi as the film played on the big screen at Stifel Theatre.

Audiences were greeted by members of the 501st Legion in the lobby before seeing the Rian Johnson-directed film, episode 8 of the Skywalker saga.

The orchestra previously performed the score to four other Star Wars films: Episode IV: A New Hope; Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back; Episode VI: Return of the Jedi; and Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
