May the Force be with the Orchestra of Opera North as it embarks on a journey through space, time, and the realms of witchcraft.

Feel the commanding brass of Star Wars ‘Imperial March’, the haunting strings from Psycho, and the enchanting celeste theme from Harry Potter send tingles down your spine. Conductor Garry Walker will guide us through the programme, unravelling each piece’s influences and connections within film music history.

Part of the Kirklees Concert Season 2024-25.

“I love a good film soundtrack and you can’t go wrong with John Williams’ fantastic music from Star Wars. It’s always a treat playing the big movie moments on Classic FM Breakfast and I know that they’ll sound spectacular performed by our friends at the Orchestra of Opera North. Bring on the brass section! There is something magical that happens when you hear movie scores played by a live orchestra so go and enjoy it if you can.”
– Dan Walker, Classic FM
