The Asheville Symphony Presents: Star Wars – Celebrating a Galaxy of Music

Darko Butorac, conductor

This is NOT a trap. The Asheville Symphony is proud to present a Star Wars themed program in collaboration with Beer City Comic Con. 

Journey to a galaxy far, far away and experience your favorite musical moments from the Battle of Hoth to the Death Star run, exploring themes from Hoth, Tatooine, Mustafar, Coruscant and every planet in between. May the force be with us as we bring iconic Star Wars moments to life in the only way they should be: with thunderous applause.
