About

The San Diego Symphony Orchestra will present Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back In Concert featuring composer John Williams’ Grammy®-winning score performed live to the Oscar®-winning film, conducted by Norman Huynh.

The film and its RIAA® platinum-certified soundtrack feature seventeen score cues composed by legendary Academy Award® and Grammy Award®-winning John Williams. The rebels scatter after the Empire attacks their base on the ice planet, Hoth. Han Solo and Princess Leia are pursued by the Imperials, while Luke Skywalker trains in the way of the Force with Jedi Master Yoda. Sensing his friends are in danger, Luke rushes to rescue them, and finds himself confronting Darth Vader, who reveals a shocking truth.
