About the Program

In this intergalactic epic, Luke Skywalker joins forces with an unlikely cast of characters to restore peace to the galaxy. Luke discovers his destiny during the struggle, which includes a rescue mission to save Princess Leia from the evil Empire. The Philharmonic performs John Williams’ Academy Award-winning score live, accompanying the film on the big screen. Grab your lightsaber and join us for a special cinematic experience unlike any other. 

Sunday’s performance is Dayton’s annual Philharmonster! Put on your Halloween costume and come to the show early to enjoy the Instrument Petting Zoo, space and Halloween-themed games and crafts, and our famous costume parade. What will Mr. Neal be this year? Your guess is as good as ours!
