Houston Symphony Performs STAR WARS AND MORE Tonight

Houston Symphony Associate Conductor Robert Franz leads the Houston Symphony in Star Wars and More, a family concert that will take audiences through the intergalactic music of the Star Wars film series, composed by five-time Academy-Award winner John Williams.

Williams' striking orchestral compositions for this film are among the most recognizable in the film music history, from the recurring musical theme "Imperial March" that first appeared in The Empire Strikes Back film, to "Battle of the Heroes" from Revenge of the Sith.

The family concert - which will take place tonight, March 6 - also features Tchaikovsky's epic 1812 Overture and "Appian Way" from Respighi's Pines of Rome. Franz and the Houston Symphony will share the stage with members of the Dobie High School Marching Band in their Houston Symphony debut.

The Family Concert ExperienceThe family concert experience includes lobby activities including the Instrument Petting Zoo, arts and crafts, and young musician performances. The 50-minute concerts are held on Saturday mornings with two start times, 10am and 11:30am. Lobby activities take place prior to the 10am performance and immediately following the 11:30am performance.
