Created by George Lucas and directed by Irvin Kirshner, The Empire Strikes Back Episode V is perhaps the greatest achievement of the epic Star Wars saga.
It is the second film in the Star Wars film series and the fifth story in the chronological chapter of the “Skywalker Saga“.
Set three years after the events of Star Wars, the film recounts the battle between the malevolent Galactic Empire, led by the Emperor, and the Rebel Alliance, led by Princess Leia.
Luke Skywalker trains as a jedi to master the Force so he can confront the powerful Sith lord, Darth Vader
Experience the power of the FORCE, live in concert, with the 78 musicians of the FILMharmonique, led by maestro Erik Ochsner!
Friday 26th and Saturday 27th at 7:30pm
Supplementary performance Saturday afternoon at 2pm
