One of my favorite ways to experience a beloved film is to see it accompanied by the Utah Symphony. We’ve been able to go to Abravanel Hall a few times during the 2022-2023 season and experience films like The Goonies and Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 1. Such wonderful experiences to share with our family! To round out the season, we got to see Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert this evening.

Much like our other experiences at Abravanel Hall, there is a sort of magic that happens when you combine a favorite film with live instruments creating the soundtrack in front of you. Tonight’s show was packed and I could tell that the entire auditorium felt the same way. Enthusiastic guests felt the force within the hall and were thrilled to be experiencing it live. Unlike normal movie screenings, you won’t want to miss one second of the score. You will even want to stay through the entire credits to fully enjoy every last note.

Thirty years after the defeat of the Empire, Luke Skywalker has vanished and a new threat has risen: The First Order, led by the mysterious Supreme Leader Snoke and his dark side enforcer, Kylo Ren. General Leia Organa’s military force, the Resistance—and unlikely heroes brought together by fate—are the galaxy’s only hope at thwarting a new reign of evil.

From visionary director J.J. Abrams, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens” stars Harrison Ford, Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Andy Serkis, Domhnall Gleeson, Anthony Daniels, Peter Mayhew and Max Von Sydow. Kathleen Kennedy, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk are producing with Tommy Harper and Jason McGatlin serving as executive producers. The screenplay is by J.J. Abrams & Lawrence Kasdan.

This thrilling film presentation will feature the Utah Symphony performing John Williams’ complete score live while the entire film plays on the big screen.

There are still seats available for tomorrow night, so grab them now while you can. You will not want to miss out on the experience of the Utah Symphony enhancing this fan favorite in a way you’ve never seen or heard before.  It is a great way to introduce younger audiences to the symphony, a great family outing, or date night.
