The orchestra will be performing selected pieces from the original Star Wars trilogy in honour of its composer, John Williams.
Member of the Philharmonic Orchestra, Mark Smith said that fans of the trilogy should come expecting many Star Wars related jokes and stories.
When asked about performing the pieces, Mr Smith said, “The most difficult piece is probably Cantina Band. It’s a real challenge for the woodwind and brass soloists.”
“But I enjoy playing the whole programme”, he added. “An hour of Star Wars really lets you get into the music”.
