The Houston Symphony brings audiences along on a journey to a galaxy far, far away with the final chapter of the original Star Wars trilogy, Star Wars: Episode VI —Return of the Jedi, screening as part of the Bank of America POPS series at Jones Hall March 4-7, 2022. Audiences can experience this iconic sci-fi film on the big screen as the Houston Symphony, led by conductor Brett Mitchell, performs John Williams’ award-winning score live. In-person tickets for all shows are now available at houstonsymphony.org/jedi.
Return of the Jedi marks the latest in the Houston Symphony’s series of film screenings with live orchestra, featuring high-definition films on a 40-foot screen accompanied by the full complement of a major symphony orchestra. Renowned for his film work, Williams wrote and conducted the soundtrack for Star Wars, which many consider one of the greatest in film history.
The battle between good and evil rages on in Return of the Jedi. Rejoin Luke, Leia, Han, and the whole Rebel Alliance as they seek to destroy the Death Star and face a final showdown with Darth Vader and the Emperor. Audiences will experience the full splendor and force of the film’s incredible score—from 20th Century Fox fanfare to closing credits—as the Houston Symphony accompanies the movie, live.
Audiences are encouraged to come dressed as their favorite character, even as Han, Luke, Leia, and company roam the lobby for photo opportunities, and adults in the audience can enjoy special Star Wars-themed cocktails.
Star Wars: Return of the Jedi in Concert takes place at Jones Hall for the Performing Arts, 615 Louisiana Street, in Houston’s Theater District.
