The Star Wars Suite

The Star Wars Suite is a grand and compelling musical spectacle that drew full houses in the Netherlands in 2018 and 2019. It's not for nothing that the phenomenal score and soundtracks of Star Wars have been voted 'best film music of all time'. The soundtracks are composed by John Williams and will appeal to both classical music lovers and fans of the movies. The score is an integral part of the success of Star Wars. Williams is without a doubt the greatest American film composer ever. Star Wars marked his breakthrough. The symphonic music from the film immediately became legendary. In the late 1970s - when synthesizers were on the rise - Williams took inspiration from composers from the 1930s. The famous Imperial Mars is the best-known example of this. An almost iconic piece that is enhanced by spectacular choral elements. It contrasts perfectly with the modern high-tech elements from the film. The Star Wars films are among the biggest blockbusters of the 20th century. Williams has managed to musically accompany the breathtaking images in an impressive way. The success of Star Wars motivated him to present the film music live to a large and worldwide audience.

The Star Wars Suite is an unforgettable musical journey along the highlights of the movies. Listeners are taken to imaginative stories from the likes of Duel of the Fates, Luke & Leia, The Imperial March and The Throne Room. Above all, however, the concert is a spectacular musical journey full of emotion that enraptures the audience. The special melodies and timbres make the symphony an intense listening experience. The execution is therefore perfect. Following the highly successful Lord of the Rings concerts and the famous Carmina Burana, The Star Wars Suite will also be performed by The International Symphony Orchestra from Lviv and the National Choir of Ukraine 'Dumka'. Both companies come to the Netherlands especially for this occasion in the largest line-up ever and consist of only passionate top musicians. Under the direction of Raymond Janssen they play the stars of heaven. Together they guarantee an unparalleled experience that the public will not soon forget.
