The music of Star Wars

From Afternoons, 2:19 pm on 30 April 2019

The NZSO is bringing the Star Wars experience to Auckland and Wellington. You can watch the movies and hear the score played live by our national orchestra.

There are two concerts  one is A New Hope and the other is The Empire Strikes Back. You can get more information here.

Today we have Star Wars enthusiast and the NZSO's timpanist Larry Reece to talk us through some of the musical highlights from those movies. Larry went to the prestigious Juilliard music school in New York  - as did the composer of the Star Wars music, John Williams.
