Looking for a family-friendly event that combines 1980s nostalgia, the magic of Star Wars, and live orchestral music? Look no further! The Colorado Symphony is presenting Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back in Concert on September 21 and 22, 2024, at the Boettcher Concert Hall in Denver. This special event brings the epic adventure of The Empire Strikes Back to life, with every note of John Williams’ iconic score performed live by the Colorado Symphony as the film plays on a large screen.

For parents who grew up with the original Star Wars trilogy, this is an incredible opportunity to share a beloved piece of pop culture with your kids, introducing them to both classic cinema and the beauty of live music. The film, released in 1980, has captured hearts for generations, and this unique concert setting is perfect for introducing young ones to Luke, Leia, Han Solo, and of course, the fearsome Darth Vader, while enjoying the rich sound of a full orchestra.

The event is more than just a concert—it’s an immersive experience. With HalfNotes family-friendly activities offered before the show, there’s even more reason to make it a fun day out for all ages. ​

Tickets range from $15 to $115, and given the popularity of this event, it’s a good idea to buy early to secure the best seats. Performances are scheduled for Saturday, September 21, at 7:30 PM and Sunday, September 22, at 2:30 PM​

Make sure to grab your lightsabers, hum along to the Imperial March, and experience The Empire Strikes Back like never before. Tickets can be purchased through the Colorado Symphony’s website​.

We hope you will join us there. May the Force be with you!
