Utah Symphony Presents Star Wars: The Force Awakens in Concert

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. © 2015 & TM Lucasfilm Ltd.

Mahler’s philosophy was that “a symphony must be like the world; it must embrace everything.” For Thierry Fischer’s final statement as Music Director, there could be nothing more fitting than the monumental Symphony No. 3—in collaboration with The Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and The Madeleine Choir School—contemplating nature, humanity, spirituality, and love, and ultimately resolving in peace, calm, and quiet.

MESSIAEN: Turangalîla Symphony “It’s a love song,” Messiaen said of his Turangalîla Symphony—and as Thierry Fischer leads the symphony in this 10-movement masterpiece, it is his own love song to the community he’s served for 14 years as Music Director. The work’s title is derived from two Sanskrit words that are almost untranslatable—meaning all at once love, joy, time, movement, rhythm, life, and death—and similarly, there seems to be no limit to what this mind-blowing music expresses.
