Space Coast Symphony Orchestra Conductor and Artistic Director, Aaron T. Collins, is passionate about the man who composed the music for the Star Wars film series, John Williams.
“John Williams is a hero to musicians around the world,” said Collins. “He is arguably THE greatest storyteller working in film today. No other series of musical scores even comes close to the descriptive power of Star Wars. We cannot wait to perform an entire concert of this incredible music.”

ABOUT STAR WARS — Star Wars is an American epic space opera franchise, centered on a film series created by George Lucas. It depicts the adventures of various characters “a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.”
The franchise began in 1977 with the release of the film Star Wars (subtitled Episode IV: A New Hope in 1981, by 20th Century Fox, which became a worldwide pop culture phenomenon. It was followed by the similarly successful sequels The Empire Strikes Back (1980) and Return of the Jedi (1983); these three films constitute the original Star Wars trilogy (Episodes IV–VI). A prequel trilogy (Episodes I–III) was later released between 1999 and 2005, which received a more mixed reaction from critics and fans in comparison to the original trilogy. More recently, a sequel trilogy (Episodes VII–IX) began with the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015). All seven films were nominated for or won Academy Awards, and were commercial successes, with a combined box office revenue of $6.46 billion, making Star Wars the fourth highest-grossing film series. Additional theatrical films outside of the main saga include the animated Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) and an upcoming series of anthology films, which will begin with the release of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016).
