The Philadelphia Orchestra will perform the complete score to Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back live at TD Pavilion at The Mann Center For The Performing Arts in Philadelphia, PA. The film will be played on a huge screen above the orchestra as they play the entire score live to the movie. 

The Philadelphia Orchestra

The Philadelphia Orchestra is one of the most prestigious in the country. Founded in 1900, this 120 year old American institution has garnered numerous Grammy Awards and has a vast repertoire of music to choose from. They don’t just perform the typical classical repertoire; they also perform film scores.

The Philadelphia Orchestra has received critical acclaim for their performances of the music from the Star Wars films. They bring the John Williams’ Star Wars suites to life in perfect harmony. The warm sound of the strings and the crisp sound of the brass sections of the Orchestra will be a memorable aspect of their performance of the Empire Strikes Back. With decades of experience between them, the members of the Philadelphia Orchestra will deliver a technically perfect and powerful performance of the score. The Philadelphia Orchestra was the first American orchestra to make recordings. They have also performed in several major Hollywood films.

Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back In Concert

There is no better film in the original Star Wars trilogy than The Empire Strikes Back. This movie follows on from the events of Star Wars: Episode IV – A New Hope and features many classic moments that have captivated audiences for decades.

Some of the most iconic scenes are the Battle of Hoth and the exhilarating chase through space in an asteroid field. Another highlight of the film is Luke Skywalker’s training with Yoda on the strange planet of Dagobah. Furthermore, the dramatic and surprising scene in which Darth Vader reveals to his son Luke that he is in fact his father on the cloud city of Bespin is one of the most memorable moments in movie history.

All of these moments and more will be brought to life by the legendary film score performed live by a world renowned orchestra during the screening of the film. The score has been performed by the orchestra during countless screenings of the movie and fans of all ages have been stunned by the sheer power and emotion of the music. The score itself includes many famous themes and pieces including the hum of the Imperial March by Darth Vader.
