The Chattanooga Symphony & Opera is set to bring a legendary cinematic experience to life with their upcoming event, Star Wars: A New Hope In Concert. On January 31, 2026, audiences will have the chance to see the iconic 1977 film performed in its entirety, accompanied by the live orchestral score conducted by the renowned Jamie Reeves.
Since its debut over four decades ago, Star Wars has revolutionized the film industry and embedded itself deeply into popular culture. Its epic storytelling, memorable characters, groundbreaking visual effects, and unforgettable musical themes have captivated generations of fans worldwide. Central to its lasting impact is the musical score by Oscar-winning composer John Williams, whose compositions have become as legendary as the saga itself.
Williams’ work on A New Hope earned him an Academy Award, and his scores for subsequent installments, including The Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, The Force Awakens, and The Last Jedi, have garnered critical acclaim and numerous nominations. With five Oscars, 23 Grammys, and several other prestigious awards, Williams is widely regarded as one of the most influential composers in film history. His score for A New Hope was even recognized by the American Film Institute as the greatest American film score of all time, and the soundtrack is preserved in the Library of Congress for its cultural significance.
The upcoming concert promises an immersive experience, allowing fans to relive the magic of Star Wars through live orchestral performance. The event will be hosted at the Memorial Auditorium in Chattanooga, offering a unique chance to witness the grandeur of the galaxy far, far away unfold on stage.
