Livestream begins at 6 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025, with a Prelude, pre-concert talk and Q&A with conductor Nikolas Caoile and the performance beginning at 7 p.m.

John Williams is the composer behind the iconic scores of the Star Wars saga. He composed the music for all nine of the main Star Wars films, spanning from the original trilogy (1977-1983) to the sequel trilogy (2015-2019). His work on Star Wars is renowned for its use of leitmotifs, where musical themes are associated with specific characters or ideas, and for its grand, symphonic style that evokes a sense of epic adventure. This concert will also feature Michael Giacchino’s score to Rogue One.
